The former MACC chief tells Najib Razak's SRC International corruption trial she cannot disclose how anti-graft officers carry out their work, or name names. FMTNews Latheefa Shafee NajibRazak Macc

Former MACC chief commissioner Latheefa Koya says she was not in charge of investigations.

She had held a press conference at MACC headquarters on Jan 8 where she disclosed nine audio recordings, purportedly linked to SRC International and 1MDB. The recordings allegedly featured Najib, his wife Rosmah Mansor, former deputy public prosecutor Dzulkifli Ahmad, and the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed Zayed Al Nahyan.

Ad hoc prosecutor V Sithambaram told the court that Shafee seemed to be on a “fishing expedition” on how MACC tapped phone conversations.“She is merely exercising her rights under Section 43 of the MACC Act and she cannot be compelled to disclose in any court proceedings how they intercept phone calls,” he said.

Former SRC International chairman Ismee Ismail had testified that he and other directors flew to Switzerland to seek confirmation that their RM1.5 billion deposit was safely kept in the bank.
