The Sessions Court today allowed the money laundering case involving the wife of Tan Sri Abu Sahid Mohamed to be heard together with corruption charges against the Maju Holdings Sdn Bhd director.
Judge Suzana Hussin granted deputy public prosecutor Datuk Ahmad Akram Gharib’s application to try Puan Sri Noor Azrina Mohd Azmi’s case alongside her husband’s.
Ahmad Akram informed the court that Sessions Court 8 judge Rosli Ahmad had approved the transfer of Noor Azrina’s case to the current court.
Noor Azrina, 49, is accused of receiving RM67.14 million in proceeds from unlawful activities into her bank account from an account belonging to Abu Sahid.
The offence allegedly occurred at a bank in Bukit Tunku between March 6 and Nov 27, 2017.
She was charged under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (Amla).
The offence carries a jail term of up to 15 years and a fine of at least five times the sum of the illegal proceeds, or RM5 million, whichever is higher.
Abu Sahid, 75, faces 18 charges of corruption and money laundering.
