(August 3): Police today questioned Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission director (Special Operations) Datuk Bahri Mohamad Zin as investigations into leakage of the probe on 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) continues.

Bahri was the fourth person to be questioned by police in relation to the case.

The Malaysian Insider also learnt that police were expected to question another MACC officer to facilitate the investigations.

A team, believed to be from Bukit Aman, arrived at MACC headquarters in Putrajaya at 2.45pm today.

Bahri, who arrived at his office at 3.07pm, appeared surprised with the large presence of media personnel in front of the headquarters.

He was escorted inside by his officer and several security personnel.

On Saturday, police had picked up Attorney-General's Chambers officer Jessica Gurmeet Kaur and former anti-graft agency adviser Tan Sri Rashpal Singh for questioning in connection with the case.

Both individuals were held under Section 124 of the Penal Code, which pertains to activities detrimental to parliamentary democracy.

They were released the same night as police failed to get a remand order to hold them any longer.

Rashpal's arrest was believed to be related to a report that he had met with Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown in London.

MACC however had denied that any leak of Putrajaya's investigation into the debt-ridden state investment firm had come from within the anti-graft agency.

MACC director of strategic communications Datuk Rohaizad Yaakob had issued a statement on July 21 saying that Rashpal had no access to the agency's ongoing probe as his tenure as a board member had ended in February.

Rohaizad added that members of the advisory board, which functioned as an independent oversight body, also were not privy to confidential investigation information.

Police have said they would investigate members of the special task force handling the probe into 1MDB, after the Attorney-General's Chambers on July 8 said that information leaks on the matter were a "criminal act of leaking classified documents to foreign nationals".

On the probe into 1MDB itself, five people have been arrested and later released upon expiry of their remand orders to facilitate investigations. – The Malaysian Insider
