Peguam Ismail Sabri pertimbang cabar pertuduhan berkaitan aset tidak diisytihar
Peguam Amer Hamzah Arshad berkata pasukannya akan meneliti pertuduhan terhadap bekas perdana menteri itu.
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob is considering appealing charges against his son Amer Hamzah Arshad, alleging failure to declare assets held by the Royal Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM). Amer's lawyer, Peguam Amer Hamzah Arshad, stated that his team is investigating the charge to determine if it should proceed.
The charges, under Section 36(2) of the SPRM Act, allege that Ismail failed to declare assets including RM14.77 million, SGD6.1 million, USD1.46 million, CHF3 million, 12.2 million euros, 363 million Japanese yen, 50,250 pounds, NZD44,600, 34.8 million Ringgit, and AUD352,850. Amer informed the court that the prosecution has confirmed, through an affidavit, that no theft of any property is being claimed.
In response, Deputy Prosecution Leader Farah Ezlin Yusop Khan noted that it is the prosecution's authority to decide if charges are warranted against a person, adding that there is no malicious intent on the prosecution's part. In a media briefing, Amer said the prosecution has asked SPRM to remove the assets in question from the case, as typically this would indicate they intend not to pursue the charges further.
