MalaysiaKUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia will seek assistance from Alphabet’s Google to investigate sex video threats targeting some officials and lawmakers, Bernama reported.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil – who was among those targeted – was quoted by Bernama as saying that the government will request Google’s help as the blackmail bids were sent via e-mail.
Datuk Fahmi had earlier revealed on his X account that at least nine MPs received the threat via Gmail, threatening to release the videos if payment of US$100,000 (S$128,000) is not made. Mr Fahmi warned the offence can carry a jail term of up to two years.
Former economy minister Rafizi Ramli is among the other high-profile politicians – most of them from Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s People’s Justice Party – who received the same threat.
Opposition lawmaker Wan Saiful Wan Jan revealed in a separate Facebook post that he had also received the threat, and said many other lawmakers probably were sent the same e-mail
