MACC believes a group of customs officers conspired with a smuggling gang that was importing cigarettes and liquor through KLIA.

PETALING JAYA: Twenty-three customs officers and personnel are to be charged in six sessions courts nationwide until June 6 for accepting gratification while being public servants.

MACC said two of the officers had already been charged in court.

All of them were arrested through Ops Samba 2.0, conducted from March 11-25.
