KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 — The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) has completed an investigation into the actions of a suspect in a Macau Scam and online gambling syndicates who escaped by climbing the back fence of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) building in Putrajaya on October 11.
EAIC chairman Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan said all parties involved had given their full co-operation to the EAIC.
"The findings of the EAIC investigation and decision have been submitted to the Attorney General's Chambers in accordance with paragraph 30 (1) (c) of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission Act 2009 (Act 700) for further action," he said in a statement yesterday.
Earlier, on October 13, the MACC confirmed that a suspect in a money laundering syndicate linked to the business of several celebrities in the country, escaped when he was about to be re-arrested under the Prevention of Crime Act (POCA) 1959.
Following that, on October 16, the police revealed the details of the suspect wanted by the police to assist in investigations into three cases involving the organisation of online gambling around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
He added that the suspect is believed to be the coordinator of Macau Scam activities in China.
On October 27, the suspect was arrested according to POCA with a woman, believed to be a Chinese national, at a hotel in a resort in Pahang.
