The police will investigate allegations that a top MACC officer had enticed a married woman.

"We will investigate as usual, when there is a police report we will take further action," inspector-general of police Mohamad Fuzi Harun said at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

He, however, declined to comment further on the report.

Yesterday it was reported that a 37-year-old businessman had lodged a police report on the claims when he chanced upon a YouTube video clip.

The complainant claimed that the woman had two children and completed divorce proceedings in September due to the involvement of the said officer.

The video also featured edited versions of the MACC officer's speeches in an attempt to mock him.

It showed pictures of the woman and her family, including the children.

The police can investigate the case under Section 498 of the Penal Code in relation to “enticing or taking away, or detaining with a criminal intent, a married woman”.

Offenders can be jailed up to two years, fined or both.

It was later reported that the couple involved denied that their separation was due to the involvement of a senior MACC officer.

The pair said the divorce was a mutual decision and a private matter.
