Sex video: Datuk T trio may be charged

“There is no legal provision for the police to arrest and take statements from them. We have to refer the matter to the A-G’s Chambers for any review.”

KUALA LUMPUR: Police may charge the “Datuk T” trio responsible for screening the video recording of a sex act involving a man resembling a prominent opposition leader after the investigation papers have been sent to the Attorney-General’s Chambers this Thursday for further action.

Federal police CID deputy director Datuk Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said police did not dismiss this possibility as it was an offence under Section 292 of the Penal Code, to screen pornographic material.

“But it’s not the police to decide on this (whether to charge those responsible). We will hold a proper press conference on this once everything is completed,” he said when contacted by Bernama, here, today.

Asked about developments on the investigation papers, he said there were still two matters to be sorted out, before the investigation papers could be sent to the A-G’s Chambers.

“If possible, we want to submit the investigation papers by this Thursday,” he said.

Asked whether police had the power to arrest the individuals involved in the sex act, Acryl Sani said police did not.

“There is no legal provision for the police to arrest and take statements from them. We have to refer the matter to the A-G’s Chambers for any review,” he said.

On March 21, the sex video was screened for several selected journalists at Carcosa Seri Negara, here.

The mystery of the “Datuk T” trio comprising former Melaka Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Thamby Chik, businessman Datuk Shazryl Eskay Abdullah and former Perkasa treasurer Datuk Shuaib Lazim was uncovered on March 23 when Rahim and Eskay admitted at a press conference that they had screened the sex video for the group of journalists.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar recently said that the sex video recording was confirmed to be genuine by experts who examined it. — BERNAMA
