Celebrity preacher to face RM12.3mil misappropriation charge tomorrow
MACC froze 15 bank accounts totalling about RM16.5 million as part of its investigation into the preacher.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is set to charge the chairman of an NGO and its secretary, both in their 30s, with misappropriating over RM12 million at the Seremban sessions court tomorrow. This comes after the Negeri Sembilan MACC arrested a freelance preacher suspected of abusing his position and stealing about RM12.3 million in NGO funds for personal gain in April.
The agency subsequently froze 15 bank accounts, including three personal, three NGO accounts, and nine company accounts, amounting to approximately RM16.5 million. Cash worth RM6,576, foreign currency totaling 95,568 Saudi Arabian riyal and S$795, as well as various luxury items such as watches, handbags, bracelets, a ring, a necklace, and 51 gold pieces, were also seized during the investigation.
