MACC officer apologises as defence seeks contempt action in Jana Wibawa trial
KUALA LUMPUR: The defence team today applied to the High Court here for a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigating officer in the trial of the Jana Wibawa programme to be held in contempt of court over the commission’s action in lodging a police report.
The defence team has applied for contempt proceedings against a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigating officer in the Jana Wibawa programme trial. The officer lodged a police report over a document submitted by the defence, which was allegedly unrelated to the case against former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
The defence lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad, argued that the report was an attempt to tarnish his image. The officer, Mazery Mohd Zaini, has since apologised to the defence lawyers for the police report lodged, stating that it was due to concerns of an internal information leak within the MACC.
