KUALA LUMPUR: The two Rolex watches belonging to a senior police officer were bought with money which his mother and late father gave to him as a gift, according to Bukit Aman.

Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS) director Datuk Seri Azri Ahmad said investigations conducted by the department showed that the officer’s father was a successful businessman.

“However, JIPS will continue investigating from all angles,” he said in a statement today.

The ownership of the luxury watches attracted attention on social media after a woman pleaded not guilty in the Ipoh Magistrate’s Court last Thursday to a charge of stealing the Rolex Sky Dweller and Rolex GMT Master-II 9 from her husband two years ago.

The woman is in the process of getting a divorce from her husband, who is the senior officer in question. -Bernama
