Mohd Norhisham Kamarrudin, 39, allegedly received RM460,000 in his bank account at Public Bank, Bandar Sri Damansara branch on Jalan Tembaga SD5/2A, Bandar Sri Damansara, here between May 27 and July 18, 2016.
Mohd Fazlie Abdul Jalal, 30, allegedly received RM340,000 in his account at Maybank Berhad, Kinrara branch in Jalan BK5A/1, Bandar Kinrara, Puchong, here between May 17 and Sept 20, 2016.
They were charged under the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001, which carries a maximum 15 years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to five times the amount involved or RM5 million, whichever is higher, on conviction.
Judge Azwarnida Affandi deferred granting bail to Norhisham as he has not engaged a lawyer to represent him, and set RM20,000 as bail with one surety for Fazlie, who was represented by counsel Nor Asyikin Zakaria.
Fazlie was also ordered to surrender his passport to the court, which set Dec 12 for remention of both cases.
Deputy public prosecutor Nik Haslinie Hashim appeared for the prosecution.
