The Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) is concerned about “rather serious” collusion between businesspeople and government officials, according to an annual report released by the graft buster yesterday.
The report also singles out the shocking case of two Public Security Police (PSP) officers suspected of fabricating evidence.
The commission says in the report its investigators discovered that a PSP officer mistakenly sent an electroshock weapon, which was to be submitted to the court as evidence, to another PSP department for destruction in April 2015. To cover up his mistake, the officer, with the assistance of another PSP officer, later purchased a similar electroshock weapon in the mainland and illegally brought it to Macau, the report says, adding that the officer also produced a letter containing false information, which was later submitted to the Judiciary along with the weapon.
