SPRM bongkar sindiket import ayam sejuk beku tak sah di Sabah
Sindiket berkenaan disyaki rasuah pegawai pihak berkuasa supaya tidak melalui proses pemeriksaan yang ditetapkan.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) has successfully dismantled a syndicate smuggling unlicensed chilled frozen chicken into Sabah, allegedly embezzling government officials at a port in the state. Operasi Chick, conducted by SPRM's Anti-Corruption Operations division in collaboration with the Border and Protection Agency and Customs Department, resulted in the seizure of 10 unauthorized chilled frozen chicken containers imported from China overnight.
Initial investigations revealed that the containers contained the alleged unlicensed chilled frozen chicken, which were not subjected to the required inspection process. In the follow-up operations, SPRM detained three men aged between 30 and 50, believed to be involved in the smuggling and management of the syndicate. SPRM is currently identifying the individuals involved, according to a spokesperson for the agency.
Meanwhile, SPRM's Chief Spokesman Abd Halim Aman confirmed the operation and the arrests, stating that the investigation is being conducted under Section 17 of the SPRM Act 2009. The three suspects will be brought to the Kota Kinabalu Magistrate's Court tomorrow for a remand application.
