Ismail Sabri set to face charge over asset declaration tomorrow
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26 — Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be charged at the Kuala Lumpur Se...
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob is set to face charges at Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court tomorrow, as reported by Bernama. Lawyer Amer Hamzah Arshad confirmed that his client would appear in court on Aug 27 under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act. The charges, under Section 36(2) of the MACC Act 2009, relate to Ismail Sabri's declaration of assets.
Originally scheduled for Aug 7, the proceedings were postponed due to the former prime minister's health concerns, which led to a pacemaker procedure. Judge Suzana Hussin previously postponed the case after Amer Hamzah requested an adjournment, citing Ismail Sabri's possible arrhythmia. MACC had seized a significant amount of cash and gold bars as part of an investigation into alleged corruption and money laundering involving Ismail Sabri and his senior officers.
