Malaysia’s Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali, a leading member of the ruling party, provided a statement to police as part of their investigation into a series of sex videos allegedly implicating him.

The probe was opened after Azmin’s political secretary lodged a police report over the videos, his lawyer N Surendran said in a statement Tuesday. The clips depicting two men engaged in sexual acts were distributed to journalists over WhatsApp last week, and police have set up a task force to ascertain their authenticity, the Star reported.
