12 cops arrested over crypto robbery

Описание: Twelve policemen, including four officers from the federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department, have been arrested over the alleged gang robbery of approximately RM200,000 in cryptocurrency from a group of Chinese nationals during a raid in Kajang.

Those detained include an assistant superintendent of police, an inspector, a sergeant, six corporals, two lance corporals and a constable, aged between 24 and 47. They were arrested over two days by a special team from the district police headquarters.

The arrests followed a report by a 31-year-old Chinese market surveyor, who claimed he and seven others were forced to transfer cryptocurrency to secure their release after their rented bungalow in Country Heights, Kajang, was raided.

Sources said officers from the district’s commercial crime unit conducted the raid at 11.10pm on Feb 5 under an anti-scam operation known as Op Taring, suspecting the group of links to an online fraud syndicate in Cambodia.
