Pegawai kanan agensi kerajaan direman berkait rasuah RM15,000

Two individuals, a right-hand aide of a government agency and a company spokesperson, have been detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) after being accused of requesting and receiving a bribe amounting to approximately RM15,000. The bribery allegedly occurred in exchange for securing employment at the aforementioned government agency.

According to sources, the investigation began with a complaint filed before the High Court in Kuala Lumpur earlier today. Both accused men, aged between 50 and 60, were taken into custody for about two days on Saturday, after appearing at the SPRM Kuala Lumpur office to provide statements. Initial investigations revealed that the duo were suspected of committing the act between 2021 and 2023.

Mohammad Zakkuan Talib, the Deputy Commissioner of SPRM Kuala Lumpur, confirmed the arrest and stated that the case is currently under investigation under Section 17(a) of the SPRM Act 2009.
