Albert Tei wants police to release CCTV footage of MACC raid


PETALING JAYA: Businessman Albert Tei is calling for CCTV footage of a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) raid on his house to be released.

Tei said he was called to the Sepang police headquarters to provide a statement over his claim that MACC officers pointed a firearm at him and his family during a raid at his house on Nov 28.

"The police have recorded my statement four times, including today. My wife, mother-in-law, and a foreign domestic helper had their statements recorded last week.

"I would like to ask the police where the CCTV recorder is and when the footage of the MACC raid on my house will be released," he said on Wednesday (Dec 24), urging the police and the Attorney General to take action against those involved in the raid.

On Dec 15, Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Shazeli Kahar said they had yet to find evidence substantiating claims that an MACC officer allegedly threatened Tei with a firearm while arresting him.

He said the police had recorded statements from all MACC officers involved in the operation, obtained CCTV footage and mobile phone recordings, and had handed them over to the forensic unit for analysis.

Tei's lawyer Zaid Malek said MACC officers detained his client at his house, claiming they forced their way in, handcuffed Tei and denied him access to legal counsel despite Zaid identifying himself as such.

MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki had said that Tei and former senior political secretary Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Aki were nabbed for alleged bribery.

On Dec 4, Tei pleaded not guilty to four counts of graft under Section 17(b) of the MACC Act 2009.
