Former Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob faces charges of failing to declare his assets to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), according to reports. The 66-year-old politician pleaded not guilty to the allegations in the Sessions Court. Ismail is accused of omitting local and foreign currencies, as well as gold bars, from a written statement he provided to the MACC.
The charges stem from his alleged failure to comply with a MACC notice issued on January 7, 2025, which he was served on January 10 of the same year. If found guilty, Ismail could face up to five years in jail and a fine of up to RM100,000.
