00:00 Former Bersatu Information Chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan has claimed trial to 18 new charges

00:06 of money laundering totaling close to RM6 million.

00:10 The Tasik Gelugor MP pleaded not guilty after the charges were read out to him before Sessions

00:14 Court Judge Susannah Husin today.

00:17 The charges were framed under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds

00:22 of Unlawful Activities Act 2001, which provides for up to 15 years jail and a minimum fine

00:28 of RM5 million upon conviction.

00:31 The charges were in connection with the purchase of a four-wheel drive vehicle worth RM78,800,

00:37 the transfer of RM3.169 million into his personal bank account, as well as numerous other transfers

00:43 to third-party accounts belonging to individuals and companies.

00:48 Wan Saiful was accused of transferring the money obtained from illicit activities from

00:51 the bank account of WSA advisory group Sendiran Berhat where he served as a director to those

00:57 accounts.

00:58 Susannah allowed bail of RM400,000 from the previous cases and ordered Wan Saiful to report

01:04 to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission headquarters twice a month.

01:08 Previously, Wan Saiful faced two charges linked to the Janawibawa Initiative, a stimulus package

01:13 introduced by the then Perikatan Nasional-led government to help Bumi Putra contractors

01:18 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
