(The Star) - Datuk Shamsulbahrin Ismail, who was recently charged with cheating the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) executive chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mohamed Salleh Ismail, has lodged a police report against Dr Mohamed Salleh, claiming he was hired by the company and turned into a scapegoat.
In his report, filed Jan 27 in Klang, Shamsulbahrin claimed he was also ordered by Mohamed Salleh to bribe police officers into covering up investigations into the NFC.
This claim was made at a press conference by PKR Wanita chief Zuraida Kamaruddin here on Monday.
On Dec 10, Shamsubahrin was charged with two counts of cheating Mohamed Salleh.
Shamsubahrin, CEO of Shamsubahrin Ismail Resouces Sdn Bhd, had pleaded not guilty at the KL Sessions Court to both the cheating charges.
He is also facing other cheating charges and is being held in the Sungai Buloh prison.
