Investigation paper on alleged human trafficking completed - IGP

The investigation paper on a local politician and her husband linked to a human trafficking syndicate in Myanmar has been completed and will be referred to the Attorney-General’s Department for further action.

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said police took statements from 11 individuals including the politician and her husband, as well as a businessperson with the title of Datuk Seri to complete the investigation paper.

“The police investigation, however, did not find any evidence that the couple (the politician and her husband) were involved in the human trafficking syndicate in Myanmar.

“The investigation paper was referred to the Attorney-General’s Office to get recommendations on the next course of action,” he said when contacted by Bernama today.

Earlier, Razarudin reportedly said the police confirmed that the politician, her husband, and three other individuals were in Myanmar for real estate investment matters, but the investigation found that no investment was made in the country involved.

On Aug 28, it was reported that a politician who is also a former deputy minister was believed to be involved with an international human trafficking syndicate operating in Myanmar since the beginning of 2020, but the politician denied her involvement and has made a report on the matter.

Recently, a video exposing a syndicate in Myanmar went viral on YouTube in Indonesia, showing many Indonesians falling victim to human trafficking.
