12 immigration officers arrested for sabotage

PUTRAJAYA: A total of 12 immigration department officers were arrested for alleged sabotage in the implementation of the Malaysian Immigration System (myIMMs).
"One suspect surrendered yesterday and we caught another suspect on Wednesday," Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar​ told a press conference at the Deputy Prime Minister's office here today.
Khalid did not mentioned the arrest of the remaining suspects.
On June 9, police arrested five immigration department officers for allegedly sabotaging the implementation of the myIMMs.
Khalid said that they were arrested at the KL International Airport (KLIA) and investigators seized some documents from them.
On May 26 it was reported that some 100 people, including Immigration Department officers and syndicate members, are being investigated on suspicion of being involved in sabotaging the implementation of the myIMMs.
Among them were mid-level officers and support staff stationed at the KLIA, who have been in service for between one and five years.
Most of them were said to be working in cahoots with a third party purely for profit.
