KUALA LUMPUR — Police have submitted investigation papers related to coercion allegations involving the Negeri Sembilan Mentri Besar to the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC), pending instructions on further action, said Inspector-General of Police Saifuddin Nasution.
The police have recorded statements from four individuals as part of their inquiry into the matter, Saifuddin said, without elaborating on the nature of the allegations or the identities of those questioned.
With the case file now in the hands of the AGC, the next steps will depend on legal guidance from the government's principal legal advisor. The AGC typically reviews police investigations to determine whether sufficient evidence exists to pursue criminal charges or other legal remedies.
The development marks a significant step in the investigation process, though no details have been disclosed regarding the timeline for the AGC's review or any potential outcomes.
Neither the Negeri Sembilan state government nor the Mentri Besar's office has issued a public statement regarding the investigation at this time.
