The Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission said Nasharudin was arrersted at 2pm after he had made a statement at MACC headquarters in Putrajaya. He was subsequently released on MACC bail.

Details relating to the case will be released tomorrow after the charges are read, MACC said.

He will be charged at the Shah Alam Sessions Court under the Anti Money-Laundering and Anti Terrorism Financing Act 2001 and the Penal Code.

In February, Nasharudin was questioned for six hours by the MACC in relation to claims that PAS had received RM90 million from Umno. The funds had allegedly come from 1MDB.

PAS and Umno have repeatedly denied the allegation.

Nasharudin said at the time that he was asked to provide financial statements from his personal account and the now-defunct Global Movement of Moderates organisation, of which he was executive chairman. He said he had cooperated and explained everything as required.

In 2017, PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli had alleged that Nasharudin had received funds linked to the scandal-ridden government investment arm 1Malaysia Development Berhad.
