MACC officer denies businessman granted immunity for testimony
Defence counsel claims Azman Yusoff was given immunity from prosecution in exchange for testifying against former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) senior assistant commissioner Mazery Mohd Zaini denied allegations that businessman Datuk Seri Azman Yusoff received "special treatment" or immunity from his own corruption case in exchange for testifying against former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. The High Court heard that Azman was investigated in 2023 for soliciting and accepting bribes from two companies, KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd and Addeen Engineering Sdn Bhd, but MACC investigations showed the funds were intended for their political party, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, rather than being bribes.
Mazery confirmed that Azman was not remanded during the investigation but denied any special treatment. He also disagreed that his investigation was biased and that MACC did not take action on Azman due to his role as a prosecution witness against Muhyiddin.
