The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) denied allegations of giving "special treatment" to businessman Datuk Seri Azman Yusoff and not striking a deal with him for his testimony against former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, according to the High Court on September 14. MACC Senior Assistant Commissioner Mazery Mohd Zaini testified that Azman was investigated for bribery allegations in 2023 and was not remanded during the investigation.
However, Mazery disagreed with the suggestion that there was a "prima facie" case of Azman soliciting and receiving bribes, stating that he will not investigate Azman again. Mazery also disputed the notion of providing immunity to Azman in exchange for his testimony, as he did not find any bias in his investigation and denied protecting Azman.
