Graft-busters have launched a corruption probe involving some top cops, The New Paper on Sunday has learnt.

Sources said officers from the Corrupt Practices Investigations Bureau (CPIB) have called up five senior police officers for interviews.

Those who have given their statements include heads of investigation of police divisions, a Neighbourhood Police Centre commanding officer and the director of a police department.

It is normal practice to call up several witnesses when conducting an investigation, said retired police officers.

A former police investigator, who declined to be named, said: "Even when one person may be a suspect, an investigator will have to call up five other witnesses.

"Giving a statement does not suggest guilt."

The CPIB is an independent body under the Prime Minister's Office and it investigates alleged corruption in the private and public sectors.

When contacted about the probe, a CPIB spokesman said: "We are unable to comment."

The above report was from the Eelctric New Paper website.
The actual report in the new paper on Sunday was longer.
Did anyone read any similar report in any of the other language papers including Wanbao?

Inspector rank is also considered senior. May not have involved those half commissioners. So nothing juicy.
