A-GC rejects bid to drop 331 money laundering charges against ex-GISBH CEO, accountants

The Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) has rejected a request to drop 331 money laundering charges against former GISB Holdings CEO Nasiruddin Mohd Ali and three former accountants. The charges involve over RM38.1 million in alleged illicit activities. Nasiruddin, Hamimah Yakub, Asmat Asmanira Muhammad Ramly, and Mohd Khushairi Osman each face multiple charges related to transactions at various GISB-affiliated companies between 2020 and 2024.

The prosecution plans to call between 15 to 20 witnesses over a six to eight-day trial period. The defense intends to submit another representation and seeks a case management date to await the A-GC's consideration of a compound offer once seized assets are returned to the accused's clients, expected around November. The trial is scheduled to begin on April 26 to 28, June 28 to 30, and July 6 to 8 next year.
