KOTA BAHARU, Jan 28 (Bernama) -- The Anti- Corruption Agency today filed an application in the High Court here seeking to strip an officer of the Pasir Puteh Land and District Office of 12 land titles worth RM670,000 that he had allegedly gained by abusing his powers.
The application was filed by Putrajaya ACA deputy public prosecutor Saiful Hazmi at 11am.
An ACA spokesman said the application was made according to Section 37 of the Anti-Corruption Act 1997, which does not require prosecution in court.
He said investigations into the case, whereby the officer had fraudulently transferred the titles, belonging to five people, into the names of his family members and friends, had been completed.
"In this case, the ACA does not plan to prosecute him in court and is only making an application to strip the officer concerned of the land titles," the spokesman said.
