Former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) special operations division director Bahri Mohd Zin has been accused of misusing his power in a tussle over family assets.

However, a source close to the former special operations division director denied the allegation.

“Bahri has been advised by his lawyer not to make any media statements on this for now as it may affect court proceedings should he file a defamation suit,” the source told Malaysiakini.
