12 cops suspected linked to human trafficking nabbed

KUALA LUMPUR: Authorities have arrested 12 police officers suspected to be linked to human trafficking activities.

Deputy Home Minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Jaafar (pix) said today the possibility of them being connected to the mass graves found in Perlis is also being investigated.

Four of the officers were arrested by the police themselves while the other eight were picked up by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in three separate anti-human trafficking operations, dubbed “Ops Pintas”.
