PUTRAJAYA - No time frame has been fixed for the internal probe against three Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers named in the Royal Commission of Inquiry report into the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock.
MACC director of investigations Datuk Mustafar Ali said that commission did not want to rush its internal probe into the RCI's findings.
“No time frame has been fixed for the completion of the internal investigation,” he told reporters after a briefing on MACC's video interviewing room on Tuesday.
On the nature of the probe, he said that it would focus on administrative and procedural issues with criminal investigations left to the police to conduct.
He said the findings of the internal probe would be forwarded to the commission's complaints bureau that would recommend action against the three officers concerned.
In a related development, Mustafar showed the commission's latest video interviewing room (VIR) that would be used to record statements from suspects or accused persons.
The specially-designed rooms come equipped with state-of-the art video and audio recording equipment aims at curbing allegations of abuse or threats made against such persons during interviews.
At present there are two operational VIR rooms at their Putrajaya office, four in Perak and two at its training academy.
A total of 36 VIR rooms would be operational by the year's end.
Copies of the recording will be made available to the court and accused or suspect if they request for it while a copy will be held by the MACC.
