The police will investigate Xavier Justo's claim that its officers had coerced the 1MDB whistleblower into giving a statement in Bangkok three years ago, said inspector-general of police Fuzi Harun.
This included the former PSI executive's allegation that the police had forced him to say that Najib Abdul Razak was the "best prime minister".
"We will look into all Justo's claim.
"I am aware that this might be related to the recording of his statement in Bangkok (in 2015). We will look into it," Fuzi said during a press conference after launching an anti-corruption seminar at the Royal Malaysian Police College in Cheras this morning.
Last night, Justo, during an interview with Astro Awani, claimed that police officers including Amar Singh, who is now the Commercial Crime Investigation Department director, had coerced his statement when they came to question him over the 1MDB scandal.
He said that the police team came with 55 questions, which they allegedly coerced him into giving answers according to what they wanted.
