Former police chief Datuk Mat Zain Ibrahim made another police report today, over the Deputy Public Prosecutor’s (DPP) inaction in issuing a directive to probe an earlier complaint made Sunday.
Mat Zain filed the report at the the Hulu Langat police station.
The former Kuala Lumpur Criminal Investigations Department chief was to be interviewed at the Putrajaya police station today over his complaint against Attorney General (AG) Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, claiming that Gani was involved in a criminal conspiracy.
He said in a statement today that assistant superintendents Irwan Saimi and Vickness from the Putrajaya police headquarters had gone to his house on Tuesday over his report on Sunday.
But he was unable to discuss the issue as he had personal obligations to attend to.
Before the interview began, Mat Zain asked several questions:"I wanted to know whether the Order to Investigate (OTI) had been issued by the deputy public prosecutor.
"Irwan told me that the OTI had not been given."
Mat Zain then decided that he did not want to have his statement recorded as he was not protected by any law if he consented to the interview.
He qualified his decision with a verbal promise that he was ready to present himself anytime at IPD Putrajaya once police had received the OTI.
"I am very suspicious at the delay by the DPP in issuing the OTI so that police will be able to carry out a full investigation into the report I had lodged on Sunday," Mat Zain said.
"This is a high profile case which has drawn massive publicity and public interest. During my time as the city CID chief, the OTI can be obtained from the DPP or AG with just a phone call."
This included the time when police were investigating former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and former AG Tan Sri Mohtar Abdullah in the late 1990s, he said.
Mat Zain added that he had grounds to believe Gani was attempting to block police from conducting a full investigation into the report which he had lodged on Sunday.
"Abdul Gani is worried that the exposure of his previous crimes would be detrimental to himself and those connected to him," Mat Zain said.
"I have reason to believe that Abdul Gani had reached an agreement with Muhammad Shafee to use the latter's affidavit despite the document containing false information."
Mat Zain lodged a police report against Shafee on Sunday, claiming that the Umno senior lawyer's affidavit to the Court of Appeal contained inaccuracies, an offence under the law.
Shafee had filed the affidavit at the Court of Appeal last week in response to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's second application to disqualify the lawyer from representing Putrajaya as the lead.
Shafee was appointed as the lead DPP in Putrajaya's appeal against Anwar's acquittal on the second sodomy charge.
