Malaysia’s commercial crimes police chief is expected to be charged with abuse of power after already facing corruption charges for not declaring shares and property, reports said Monday.
Ramli Yusoff is the most senior officer in the country to be charged for corrupt practices, the Star newspaper said in a front page report.
It said the latest accusations stem from when he was the police commissioner in Sabah. It is alleged he used a police Cessna aircraft to inspect one of his private land projects in the eastern Borneo island state.
Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) chief Abu Kassim Mohamed confirmed that Ramli, the director of the federal commercial crimes investigation unit, will face the new charges in a Sabah court on Monday, the paper said.
Ramli was charged earlier this month with failing to divulge that his sisters owned two office units allegedly on his behalf. He also faces charges of being a company director while still a senior civil servant, and failing to reveal details of share ownership in a property company.
