Azeez Rahim didakwa di Mahkamah Sesyen KL esok
Bekas pengerusi Lembaga Tabung Haji itu akan didakwa di bawah Akta Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia.
Former Tabung Haji chairman Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim is set to be charged in Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court tomorrow under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009. The 27-year-old, who was also a former MP for Baling, will face the Honourable Judge Azura Alwi at 9am. On August 27, Azeez and former chief treasurer for Tabung Haji were charged with assisting the RCI investigation into the institution from July 29, 2020.
Both individuals were questioned under Section 23(1) of the SPRM Act 2009. The RCI report on Tabung Haji, uploaded to the official Malaysia Islamic Development Department portal on July 29, suggested that a forensic audit be conducted to investigate investment decision-making processes, which led to the institution facing a severe decline in asset value.
The RCI report also listed problematic investments that required forensic auditing, as well as suspicious transactions and hidden information. The scope of the RCI investigation covered issues related to Tabung Haji from 2014 to 2020, referencing findings from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Ernst & Young (EY), and Roland Berger, excluding restructuring plans and recovery measures underway at the time.
