SHAH ALAM, El Sky News – The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) investigation into the allegation that a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officer pointed a firearm at businessman Albert Tei during a raid on November 28 has reached a deadlock in the search for evidence.
Selangor Police Chief, Datuk Shazeli Kahar, confirmed that as of now, no concrete testimony or evidence has been successfully obtained to support the accusation, despite a detailed investigation being conducted.
“Based on the preliminary investigation, we have recorded statements from all MACC officers and personnel involved in the operation, including Albert Tei’s wife, who is the main complainant in this case,” he said at a press conference here today.
Forensic Analysis of CCTV Footage and Phone Conversations
In an effort to ascertain the truth, Datuk Shazeli disclosed that the police have received and submitted several important digital evidence materials to the forensics division for further review and analysis.
The evidence includes Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) recordings from Tei’s residence in Puchong, as well as recordings of phone conversations believed to be related to the raid incident.
“The recordings do exist, but we cannot reveal the details now as the investigation is ongoing. We will also recall the complainant’s wife to obtain additional testimony,” he explained.
Police Open Inquiry Paper, Urge Against Speculation
The case is being investigated under a police inquiry paper. According to Datuk Shazeli, several other witnesses have been summoned to assist the investigation, but other family members of the complainant are believed to be out of the area and have not yet appeared to give statements.
PDRM urged the public not to make any speculations that could compromise the smooth running and integrity of the ongoing investigation.
Previously, this issue received widespread coverage after Tei’s wife made the allegation regarding the gun-pointing incident, which MACC, through Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki, strongly denied. Azam was also reported to have lodged a police report to clear the agency’s name.
