KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is tracking down a key mastermind, known as "Datuk Roy," in relation to the Jana Wibawa corruption scandal.
An MACC source said the man, in his 50s, had previously been accused of corruption in court and was sentenced to prison.
On March 9, the MACC arrested four individuals, including a MACC officer and a woman, aged between 40 and 50, for allegedly soliciting and accepting bribes worth RM400,000 to halt an investigation into the Jana Wibawa case.
The woman has been released on MACC bail, while the other three suspects remained in custody until March 13, 2023.
When contacted, MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki confirmed the ongoing investigation and emphasised the MACC's commitment to upholding the law.
"The MACC will not compromise at all if it is found that any of its officers are involved in any illegal activities," he stated.
