KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 — Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be charged tomorrow at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act.

Based on a court system check, the charge against the Bera Member of Parliament will be read before Judge Suzana Hussin at 9am.

The case against Ismail Sabri is believed to be related to the declaration of assets.

He had previously been summoned on multiple occasions to record his statement regarding his asset declaration to the MACC.

The MACC seized RM170 million in cash in foreign currencies and 16 kilogrammes of pure gold bullion, valued at RM7 million, during investigations into corruption and money laundering.

The seizures were carried out during raids on properties believed to have been used as safe houses, following the February 2025 arrests of four of Ismail Sabri’s senior officers. — Bernama
