Actress Betty Banafe and brother advised to contact AG's Chambers over NFA decision

KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Betty Banafe and her younger brother Datuk Syakib Abu Bakar Banafee have been advised to contact the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) for clarification on several reports of breach of trust and fraud involving her brother’s company being classified as no further action (NFA).

Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Comm Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf said his department had completed the investigation papers and submitted them to the AGC for further action.



The AGC has since classified the case as NFA.

“That is what we have explained to Betty Banafe and the complainant, Datuk Syakib Banafee. Thankfully, they understand and accept the explanation and any further actions or matters are beyond police jurisdiction.

“I also clarified that if they are dissatisfied with the decision, they should write to the AGC to understand why the case was classified as NFA,” he said after meeting Syakib and Betty, whose full name is Betty Ibtisam Abu Bakar Banafee, at his office on Tuesday (Sept 10).

Syakib’s shipping company incurred losses amounting to hundreds of millions of ringgit, and he claimed that there was fraud and misappropriation among the company’s senior management.

Comm Ramli, in an earlier statement, said 14 police reports had been filed by Syakib and four others.



These reports were duly investigated through two investigation papers opened under Section 409 and Section 420 of the Penal Code, he said.

The investigation under Section 409 was completed, and the case was classified as NFA by the AGC in June after it found that there was insufficient evidence to establish an element of breach of trust in the case.

The investigation was further reviewed by the AGC in August, and the NFA decision was upheld.

Comm Ramli clarified that Betty and her brother were not called in Tuesday to record statements but to give them an explanation of the issue raised by the actress on social media, with the matter going viral.



When met later, Betty said they accepted the advice from the police and would take the next step of contacting the AGC.

“The NFA decision was not made by the police but was justified by the AGC.

“The police have done their job in the investigation, and on our part, we need to go to the AGC to get its feedback,” she said. – Bernama
