Former Prime Minister Could See RM169 Million In Cash Forfeited

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has filed an application to forfeit over RM169 million in cash belonging to former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. MACC, represented by the Deputy Public Prosecutor as the applicant, filed the application at the Sessions Court naming Ismail's former political secretary Datuk Mohammad Anuar Mohd Yunus and the ex-premier himself as first and second respondents. In the application, the commission is seeking a court order to forfeit cash seized from the first respondent for the Malaysian government, including RM14,772,150, SG$6,132,350, US$1,461,400, three million Swiss Francs, €12,164,150, ¥363,000,000, £50,250, NZ$44,600, AED34,750,000, and AU$352,850. The application was made under Section 41(1) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 after the commission was satisfied that the money kept by Anuar belonged to Ismail and was linked to an offence under Section 36(2) of the same Act. The commission also applied for other court orders deemed suitable by the court. Related
