"They called in connection with the leak of the 1MDB (1Malaysia Development Berhad) information. The two others were arrested earlier, were also with Tan (Kang Sai).

"But the two officers besides Kang Sai were detained and brought to the MACC headquarters to have some documents searched including related items such as computers and such," he said when met here today.

Roslan has given his statement to the police on Monday with two other officers namely Special Operations MACC director Datuk Bahri Mohamad Zin and MACC Director of Forensic, IG Chandran.

However, the spokesman has yet to disclose the names of other officers who were detained.
