Nazir, Mubarak's MACC challenge moved to Appellate and Special Powers Division
KUALA LUMPUR: Businessman Datuk Seri Nazir Hussin Akhtar Hussin and his brother’s legal challenge against the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over its power to compel them to declare their assets has been transferred to the High Court’s Appellate Special Powers Division.
Businessmen Nazir Hussin and his brother Mubarak have moved their legal challenge against the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to the High Court's Appellate Special Powers Division. The case, filed in October, centers around the MACC's power to compel the brothers to declare their assets. Nazir Hussin claims that MACC officers raided their homes without a warrant and seized significant assets, alleging that the investigation is linked to a RM10 million investment by a foundation.
The brothers argue that the MACC lacks credible evidence to support their claims, and that issuing a notice under Section 36 of the MACC Act would be a fishing expedition and violate constitutional principles. The next case management date has not been set.
