MACC questions 23 in probe into police C4i system contract
SHAH ALAM, April 29 — A total of 23 people have had their statements recorded by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) as part of its probe into a RM15 million contract for the maintenance of the police's Command and Control, Communication and Computer Integration (C4i) system. Citing an anonymous source, Sinar Harian reported that RM7.6 million in accounts linked to the investigation has been frozen so far. 'So far, there have been no new arrests and the case is still under investigation,' the source reportedly said today. MACC Special Operations Division senior director Datuk Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin was said to have separately confirmed that the case is still under active investigation. Last week, a company director, chief financial officer, two police officers and two others — aged between their 30s and 50s — were remanded for allegedly making false claims tied to the contract, followed by the arrest of a seventh suspect, a 54-year-old policeman, last Friday. The Bukit Aman Integrity and Standards Compliance Department reportedly conducted financial audits of the C4i contract last year and uncovered irregular payments made to a company, which were then referred to the MACC for further investigation.

Police confirm arrest of superintendent, inspector over RM15mil false claims probe
KUALA LUMPUR: Federal police have confirmed that two of its own have been arrested over allegations of submitting false claims amounting to about RM15 million, related to a maintenance service contract for the Command, Control, Communication and Computer Integration (C4i) System. It is understood that the two officers arrested hold the rank of Superintendent and Inspector. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said initial investigations were conducted internally when a review of the C4i contract revealed a payment that should not have been approved. According to him, the investigation found that there was an improper payment to the company involved and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was informed in order to facilitate an investigation. "So we wrote in to the MACC to conduct an investigation based on our findings. "Any offence involving corruption that we find in the investigation, we will cooperate with the MACC, including in this case," he said when contacted today. It was earlier reported that a company director, a chief financial officer, and two police officers were among six individuals arrested by the MACC for allegedly submitting false claims amounting to about RM15 million. Sources said the claims were related to a maintenance service contract for the C4i system. They added that the suspects, comprising five men and one woman, aged between 30 and 50, were detained while giving their statements at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya at about 8pm yesterday. All six suspects were remanded for seven days after being brought before the magistrate's court in Putrajaya this morning. Initial investigations showed all suspects were believed to have committed the act between 2022 and this year, by abetting the submission of false claims worth about RM15 million, where some of the component works in support services were not carried out as per the contract. The total value of the C4i project is estimated to be worth approximately RM70 million, which was given to the police and managed by the Home Ministry. The MACC also seized four luxury vehicles worth around RM1.3 million.
