This came in 2015 after his former boss Abu Kassim Mohamed at the MACC decided to indict former prime minister Najib Razak over the RM2.6bilion that was found in his personal bank account. According to Shukri, Abu Kassim asked him whether he was ready for the consequences of indicting a sitting prime minister, which could have led to their dismissal. Abu Kassim, who was appointed MACC chief in 2010, was also replaced by Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad in 2016. In 2010, he took on the position of MACC deputy chief commissioner (operations), which he held till his retirement. Pakatan Harapan appointed Shukri to head the MACC when it took over Putrajaya after GE14.
