Ex-minister to face 3 charges in Tabung Haji case
MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman said the former minister will be charged at the Kuala Lumpur sessions court on Monday with three counts of dishonest misappropriation of property, reported FMT.
“We have obtained permission from the Attorney-General’s Chambers to charge the former minister,” he said at a press conference.
Dishonest misappropriation of property falls under Section 403 of the Penal Code, which provides for six months to five years in prison, whipping and a fine, if convicted.
The politician was previously detained to assist in investigations into the leasing of a Tabung Haji-linked hotel in Saudi Arabia, which was flagged in the royal commission of inquiry report on the pilgrims fund.
He was released two days ago after being detained for seven days to assist in investigations.
Although the former minister's name was not mentioned, his identity has become an open secret.
