SHAH ALAM - Former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be charged tomorrow (Aug 7) 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.
Lawyer Ragunath Kesavan, who represents Ismail Sabri, confirmed to Bernama that his client will be charged tomorrow at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court.
Sources told Sinar Daily that the case is related to the declaration of assets, where 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, in connection with corruption and money laundering investigations against him.
The seizures were carried out during raids on residences and offices believed to have been used as safe houses, following the February 2025 arrests of four of Ismail Sabri’s senior officers.
