KUALA LUMPUR - The chairman of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) and his wife are expected to be charged at the Seremban Sessions Court today over the misappropriation of funds belonging to the organisation, amounting to nearly RM13 million.
The chairman, who is also a well-known religious influencer, is believed to be facing charges alongside his wife, who serves as the NGO's secretary.
A source from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) confirmed both will be charged at the Seremban Sessions Court at 9am.
"The individual and his wife will be charged tomorrow in relation to a case opened by the MACC several months ago," the source said.
Media had previously reported that the freelance preacher, who is in his thirties, was detained by MACC Negeri Sembilan on suspicion of abusing his position and misappropriating the NGO's funds.
He is believed to have abused his position and colluded with other committee members to transfer funds into his own bank account as well as eight company accounts also under his ownership.
