RUU Jenayah Siber peruntuk kuasa sekat harta walaupun suspek belum dituduh
Perintah sekatan harta itu bagi mengelakkan aset seperti wang hasil penipuan dilesapkan.
Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi explained that the Cybercrimes (Amendment) Act grants the court the power to issue attachment orders on assets, even before a suspect is officially charged. This measure aims to prevent criminals from transferring ill-gotten gains, such as stolen money, abroad. Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi stated that attachment orders are among the many types of orders a court can issue to curb or halt legal violations.
Other orders may include restraining orders, restitution orders to victims, and compliance orders, according to Bernama, in response to a parliamentary question. Requests for such orders can be made by the complainant or a government official empowered with authority. Zahid responded to questions from Shamshulkahar Deli (BN-Jempol) regarding the sufficiency of the existing legal framework to address online fraud using artificial intelligence and a special provision to expedite action against syndicates and protect victims.
Zahid said the Act passed by Parliament in July last year was amended to tackle AI-driven online fraud, including identity theft, deepfake, and digital manipulation.
