ACA starts looking for evidence


PUTRAJAYA: The Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) is collecting vital documents on the supply of RM100mil worth of equipment to the police logistics department before it starts a full investigation.

Its deputy director-general Datuk Abu Kassim Mohamed said agency officers had been sent to collect the documents and evidence and question people.

He said they would first have to study if there was any criminal element, such as false claims, use of wrong procedure or not following orders.

“We will start investigations once we find there is a strong case after the initial study,” he said.

Abu Kassim added that the police had been cooperative since the matter came to light and that Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan had called on the agency from time to time to investigate suspected corruption cases in the department.
