KUALA LUMPUR: Businessman Datuk Albert Tei has renewed his call for authorities to release close-circuit television (CCTV) recordings of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) raid at his home last month, saying the footage is key to his allegation that firearms were pointed at him and his wife.
In a statement today, Tei urged the authorities to make the footage public in the interest of transparency and justice.
His call followed a statement by Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar who yesterday said police had not found evidence to support Tei’s allegation.
Describing Shazeli’s statement as “inconsistent with the facts”, Tei said investigators had already recorded statements from him and his wife, Lee Pei Rie, conducted a re-enactment and revisited the alleged scene more than once.
Tei said the most crucial piece of evidence remained the CCTV recorder seized during the raid, adding that he had provided police investigators with the login details to review the footage at the initial stage of the probe.
“Within one week, investigating officers came to my house in Puchong twice to take photographs, record my statement and record a video re-enactment of the incident,” he said.
Tei alleged that six firearms were aimed at him and his wife by MACC officers, some of whom were wearing balaclavas.
“I have provided the investigating officer the password and login for the CCTV recording to be reviewed. What do they mean by not having evidence to prove my claim?” he asked.
Questioning the progress of the investigation, Tei asked who had viewed the recordings so far and whether the footage was insufficient to substantiate his allegation.
Tei also revealed that police investigators are scheduled to return to his residence later today to speak to family members who were present during the raid.
Tei and Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin were charged with offences involving the giving and receiving of bribes earlier this months. They were each charged with five counts of graft.
They are currently out on bail.
