Ghosts in lockup? - Ex-MACC chief denies Isa’s claim
- 4 years ago
Former MACC chief Mohamad Shukri Abdull denied claims that the commission’s detention facilities are haunted.
He said this in response to former Felda chairperson Mohd Isa Abdul Samad’s testimony at the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Monday.
Shukri said he has never heard of such stories regarding the lockup in his over 30 years of service with the MACC and its predecessor the Anti-Corruption Agency.
On Monday, Isa claimed that his former special political officer Muhammad Zahid Md Arip had implicated him in corruption allegations totalling RM3 million to avoid being charged.
He said Zahid told him he was forced to do so under duress after being harassed by a “ghost” in the MACC lockup.
