SHAH ALAM, Nov 17 — Selangor police have questioned 26 policemen over the disappearance of cash seized in the KLIA robbery case from its headquarters here, admitting today the incident could be due to negligence.
State police chief DCP Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said police have opened a two-pronged investigation under sections 457 (breaking and entering) and 201 (causing the disappearance of evidence) of the Penal Code.
“We are looking into all procedural matters... whether there are negligence or criminal elements involved.
“If the matter is criminal, they or the person involved will be charged. If it is negligence, we will take disciplinary action,” he told reporters when met on the sidelines of the Selangor police contingent Deepavali celebration here.
Cash belonging to two of the three Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers charged with robbing money changers at KLIA in September was found missing on November 8.
According to Tun Hisan (picture), the cash, amounting to RM11,700, and a wallet were discovered missing from the office of an investigating officer at about 2pm that day.
He confirmed that the officer’s room had been broken into due to signs of tampering found on the door lock and that of the drawer where the items were kept.
