  "account": "Peguam Ismail Sabri Yaakob is considering challenging the charges against his son, Amer Hamzah Arshad, due to alleged assets not being officially declared, which are currently held in the government's custody. Amer's team plans to investigate the charges against Ismail. They have informed the court that they raised concerns about the jurisdiction and severity of the charges, but did not elaborate further. Ismail pleaded not guilty at Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court, charged under Section 36(2) of the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency Act (SPRM) for not declaring his assets in a timely manner. The alleged undeclared assets include RM14.77 million, SGD6.1 million, USD1.46 million, CHF3 million, 12.2 million euros, 363 million Japanese yen, 50,250 pounds, NZD44,600, 34.8 million dirhams, and AUD352,850. Amer informed the court that the prosecution has confirmed to the court through an affidavit that no theft charges will be brought against the property. Deputy Prosecutor Farah Ezlin Yusop Khan stated that it is the prosecutor's authority to decide if charges should be laid against someone. She also emphasized that there is no intention of malice on the part of the prosecution in bringing charges against Ismail. In a media briefing, Amer said that the prosecution has requested the SPRM to remove the assets at the center of the charges from the public register. In such cases, it typically means that the prosecution has decided not to continue with the charges. Amer stated that his team needs to investigate the change in position of the prosecution.",
