PETALING JAYA: Police visited Bloomberg’s office at the PETRONAS Twin Towers on Thursday (Feb 26), reportedly in connection with investigative reports on the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
The reports are said to be linked to MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki.
In a media report, sources said officers asked for Tom Redmond and Niki Koswanage, who authored two articles published this month.
The reports detailed allegations of abuse of power and extortion within the MACC, as well as Azam’s alleged links to individuals described as part of a "corporate mafia".
The development comes as Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail announced that an investigation has been launched into an alleged plot to topple the government.
The plot is said to involve an "influential individual" and an "international media agency".
"Investigations are ongoing and the public is advised not to speculate while police complete their investigation to respect the principles of the criminal justice system," he said in a statement.
He did not identify the individual or the media outlet.
However, there has been no official confirmation from the police regarding the purpose of the visit to Bloomberg’s office.
The Star has reached out to the police for confirmation regarding the alleged visit and is awaiting a response.
