IPOH, Jan 12 -- A military officer pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to money laundering involving RM114,000 in the Batang Padang district near here, in 2016.
Lieutenant Colonel Azman Mohamed Yasin, 58, who was then Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) Military Training Academy director entered the plea after the charge was read out to him before Judge S. Indra Nehru.
Azman was charged with receiving a cheque amounting to RM114,000 at the CIMB Bank Bidor branch at Bidor Centrepoint in Jalan Dewan Orang Ramai, from Datuk Mohamad Adkaa Solahuddin, believed to be proceeds from unlawful activities, on Oct 25, 2016.
The charge, framed under Section 4 (1) (b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2002 (Act 613), provides an imprisonment for up to 15 years and fine of not less than five times the amount or the ill-gotten gains, or RM5 million, whichever is higher, upon conviction.
The court released the accused on the RM80,000 bail imposed on him on Nov 23 last year for a criminal breach of trust charge and ordered that the cases be heard together at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court.
The prosecution was conducted by deputy public prosecutor Nurul Wahida Jalaluddin while counsel, Mohd Amir Aizat Abdul Rani represented the accused.
