Nearly RM800,000 in cash was found in the bedrooms of two Immigration Department officers who were caught for their involvement in counter setting.

Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said RM518,250 was found hidden in luggage when they raided the home of a female Immigration Department officer in Pahang.

He said the cash found in these two instances were part of the RM1.49 million, US$9,900.00 and 5,470 Thai Baht that has been seized throughout their operations to date.

It was previously reported that the MACC was on the hunt for an Immigration Department officer who allegedly fled after being implicated in a corruption probe linked to a syndicate that smuggled in foreigners through Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
