Latheefa went against the law by releasing audio clips, says Haniff Khatri


PETALING JAYA: Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Latheefa Koya flouted the rule of law when she released explosive telephone conversation recordings of high-profile figures, including former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, alleging criminal elements, says lawyer Haniff Khatri Abdulla.

Haniff said Latheefa should have ordered the officer who received the nine audio clips to lodge a police report because it was not within the jurisdiction of the MACC to investigate criminal offence under the Penal Code.
