KUALA LUMPUR:

Two investigation papers involving former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Azam Baki have been referred to the Attorney General’s Chambers for further action.

Bukit Aman criminal investigation department director M Kumar said today the investigations into two cases had been completed and the papers were submitted to the AGC on June 4.

On Wednesday, Kumar said police recorded Azam’s statement under Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Code (relating to power to examine witnesses during an investigation).

He said the first case involved a Bloomberg article allegedly containing defamatory statements regarding Azam’s shareholding in Velocity Capital Partner Bhd.

The second case concerns allegations of abuse of power and criminal intimidation involving businessman Albert Tei. - FMT
