Alam Maritim Resources CEO Azmi Ahmad to be charged over Tabung Haji probe

Datuk Azmi Ahmad, the group managing director and CEO of Alam Maritim Resources Bhd, is set to face charges in Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on September 10. According to court records, he will appear before Judge Suzana Hussin at Criminal Sessions Court 14 at 9am. On August 17, the company filed a statement with Bursa Malaysia revealing that Azmi had been placed in custody to aid the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in their investigation.

On August 15, Bernama reported that MACC had arrested seven individuals, including a CEO, a company director, a former company director, and four former senior management officers from Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH), to investigate allegations raised in the Royal Commission of Inquiry Report on Tabung Haji. A source revealed that a 60-year-old CEO of a shipping company was arrested for allegedly submitting false documents during payments to TH, involving the alteration of contract documents of a petroleum company to benefit his own company.
