PETALING JAYA:
A senior Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officer will be charged in court tomorrow, believed to be over the theft of seized items worth RM25 million.

The suspect will be charged at the Kuala Lumpur sessions court at 8.15am, Utusan Malaysia reported.

In September, FMT reported that the officer was investigated for firearms and drug-related offences.

The officer was believed to have been involved in drug-related activities for a year.

MACC also seized RM1.6 million in assets belonging to the officer — a residential property in Selangor, two Ducati motorcycles, and two cars: a Mercedes Benz and a Honda Type R.

The anti-graft agency had previously confirmed that three of its senior officers had been arrested to assist in investigations into allegations of abuse of power and malpractice in the case of the former head of the Malaysian External Intelligence Organisation, Hasanah Ab Hamid.
