**May 10** In February this year, Malaysian police raided a rented villa in Country Heights, Kajang, targeting several Chinese citizens suspected of fraud. The officers allegedly forced the victims to transfer approximately $50,000 (around 200,000 Malaysian Ringgit) in USDT. Twelve implicated officers were later arrested and relieved of frontline duties, but the investigation remains pending technical reports and digital evidence analysis—no breakthrough has been made to date. Charles, the lawyer representing the eight Chinese victims, slammed the probe’s excessive slowness. “There’s been no follow-up since the 12 officers’ arrest, suggesting suspected internal interference to suppress the case,” he stated. He warned that if internal protection is uncovered, a complaint will be filed with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
