Azeez expected to be handed over to police after bail

Two family members of former Lembaga Tabung Haji chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim are set to pay RM450,000 bail after being charged by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). Azeez's son, Mohamed Khairul Azman, was present at the court complex during the bail payment. Over 30 journalists and photographers were present, awaiting his arrival.

Initially, Azeez was brought into the courtroom through a different entrance, preventing photographers from taking photos. Upon completing the bail process and receiving instructions on conditions, Azeez is expected to be handed over to the police. The 60-year-old is accused of using his position in 2013 to secure a high-paying position at another company, investing company funds, and involving the board in a significant financial decision. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison and a substantial fine under MACC Act provisions.
