MACC denies bribing Wan Saiful to frame Muhyiddin
The MACC has denied offering RM10 million to Bersatu information chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan in exchange for framing former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin in a graft case.
MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki, in making the denial, hit out at a man - who claimed to be a freelance researcher for Wan Saiful - for making the allegation in a 44-second video clip uploaded to TikTok.
“This is an irresponsible person and the MACC will take legal action against him.
“It’s slander and this is the kind of person who erodes the public’s trust in the MACC,” Azam (above) told Free Malaysia Today, adding that the commission would lodge a report soon against the man.
Earlier today, Wan Saiful was slapped with two graft charges in relation to the Jana Wibawa programme - first for soliciting a bribe of an unspecified amount and second for receiving a bribe of RM6.96 million between July 8, 2022, and Sept 30, 2022.
The Bersatu leader claimed the charges were selective prosecution and politically motivated.
And in a later report, this man, Wan Saifool's researcher claimed that the video was edited to make it look like he was accusing the MACC of trying to bribe Wan Saifool.
ReplyDeleteTo Azam Baki's credit, he said the police report will still proceed despite the researcher apologising.
Hopefully, this report will result in a thorough investigation and prosecution.
The blatant accusation is too serious to be just apologised away. Somebody must pay for it.
