Nasiruddin, 66, and the trio – Hamimah Yakub, 73, and husband-and-wife Khushairi Osman, 54, and Asmanira Ramly, 44 – entered their pleas after the charges were read to them before judge Awang Kerisnada Awang Mahmud.
Nasiruddin, who was in a wheelchair, faces 109 counts involving RM14 million; Hamimah was charged with 60 counts totalling RM710,000; Khushairi was charged with 54 counts amounting to RM20.3 million; and Asmanira faces 41 counts involving RM5 million.
The offences were allegedly committed between 2020 and 2024 through 10 accounts in Bandar Baru Bangi, Rawang and Subang Perdana.
All were charged under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001, which carries a maximum 15 years’ jail and a fine of at least five times the amount involved or RM5 million, whichever is higher.
The proceedings, which began at 10am, lasted five hours, with two interpreters taking turns reading out the charges to the accused.
At least a dozen individuals believed to be the accused’s family members were seen waiting patiently in the gallery as the charges were read out.
The court denied bail for Nasiruddin, who is detained under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma). Bail was set at RM20,000 each for Hamimah and Asmanira, and RM25,000 for Khushairi.
Case mention was fixed for Nov 6 for Nasiruddin and Hamimah, and Nov 24 for Khushairi and Asmanira.
The prosecution was led by deputy public prosecutors Izham Marzuki, Megat Mahathir Megat Tharih Affendi and P Sangari. The accused were represented by Rosli Kamaruddin and Dorina Abdullah.
