Kuala Lumpur police chief Fadil Marsus says the complainant, previously identified as a Vanuatu national, is actually a Chinese national wanted in his country.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Fadil Marsus said the discovery followed checks with Interpol, which revealed that the complainant, earlier identified as a Vanuatu national, was actually a Chinese national.
He also said that police found inconsistencies between the passport submitted by the complainant and Interpol records.
“The passport stated that he was born in Pontianak, Indonesia, whereas Interpol records indicated that his place of birth is China.
“A 14-day remand has been obtained for both the complainant and his girlfriend from July 27 until Aug 9 for further investigations,” Fadil said in a statement.
The case is being investigated for a lack of valid travel documents and possessing forged entry permits.
The complainant was arrested alongside two others – a female Chinese national and a female Thai national – although the Thai woman was released after her immigration documents were confirmed as authentic.
Yesterday, it was reported that the police opened a disciplinary investigation paper against 12 officers and personnel alleged to have extorted RM2 million from a foreigner.
Bukit Aman integrity and standards compliance department director Aida Abdul Hamid said the action was taken parallel to an investigation by the criminal investigation department.
Fadil said a total of 15 policemen were arrested as part of the investigation into extortion. They were later released on police bail. - FMT
