KUALA LUMPUR: A senior Customs officer being investigated by the MACC for graft involving unpaid taxes is believed to have fallen to his death from the 3rd floor of the MACC Building in Jalan Cochrane on Wednesday morning.
The MACC has identified the officer as Selangor assistant director Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed, 56.
MACC director of investigations Datuk Mustafar Ali said Ahmad was among those detained on April 1 in a nationwide operation and released on bail the next day.
He had arrived at the MACC building here alone on a motorbike at 8.26am and asked to see the investigating officer who, however, was at a meeting.
Ahmad waited at the lobby until 9.30am. Then, an officer took him to a room on the third floor and was with him until 10.15am.
The officer then left the room for a few minutes to call the investigating offier.
When he returned, he found Ahmad missing.
Ahmad's body was found lying on the first floor open-air badminton court at 10.20am, Mustafar said.
Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur CPO Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah said a special task force has been set up to investigate the case, which has been classified as sudden death.
He said the body has been sent to Hospital Kuala Lumpur for a post mortem, and urged people not to speculate.
