Ramli had been calling for the setting-up of a tribunal against Gani and Musa, with him and former Kuala Lumpur CID chief Mat Zain Ibrahim willing to come forward and testify. Musa had however, claimed that he was cleared of any wrongdoing.
The allegation dubbed the ‘Copgate’ affair also featured statutory declaration of informants leading to the shady character Goh Cheng Poh's arrest, describing their turnover process by the ACA.
However, Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein has asked for further evidence to back up the allegation.
Hishammuddin later said there is no need for a new probe into the Copgate affair despite the serious allegations made by Ramli.
Malaysiakini had also reported that former and serving police personnel were willing to testify over the Copgate affair.
Last week, this portal had also highlighted that Musa had allegedly sought the advice of another underworld figure, BK Tan, regarding transfers and promotions of officers in the force. Tan was also reported to have come to Musa’s Petaling Jaya home and also called the shady character for consultations.
This follows the 2009 statutory declaration made by a former aide de camp for Musa, ASP Noor Azizul Rahim Taharim, which is in the public domain, and which was certified by Noor Azizul himself.
Noor Azizul had also told Malaysiakini when the portal tracked him down last week that he was also willing to testify before a tribunal if it is set up.
