Ismail Sabri claims trial to failure to declare assets
The former prime minister is accused of failing to declare money held in several currencies, as well as five gold bars, one silver bar and one gold coin.
The Kuala Lumpur Court Complex witnessed a rare simultaneous appearance of three former prime ministers from Malaysia - Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, and Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob - each attending separate court hearings. Despite their unrelated cases, the convergence highlighted the ongoing legal proceedings involving these prominent figures.
Najib Razak is set to resume proceedings in the US$5.64 billion civil suit filed against him by 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), which accuses him of breach of trust, breach of statutory duty, abuse of power, and conspiracy to misappropriate 1MDB funds. Muhyiddin Yassin, meanwhile, is facing charges in his ongoing corruption trial related to the Jana Wibawa programme, where he is accused of seven counts, including power abuse to obtain bribes for his party, Bersatu.
Lastly, Ismail Sabri Yaakob appeared in court to face a charge for allegedly failing to declare his assets as required by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
