00:00Another day in court for former Army Chief Tanshri Muhammad Hafizuddin Jantan, who faced two fresh money laundering charges totaling 145,000 ringgit.
00:12This comes just a day after the 58-year-old pleaded not guilty to four other charges involving more than 2.1 million ringgit.
00:20The two new charges allege that Hafizuddin received proceeds from illegal activities.
00:25115,000 ringgit in one transaction and 30,000 ringgit in another.
00:31Both amounts were allegedly deposited into his bank account at a branch in Ampang Point between February 2024 and May 2025.
00:41The charges were brought under the Anti-Money Laundering Act, which carries severe penalties, a maximum jail term of 15 years,
00:49and a fine of either five times the amount involved or 5 million ringgit, whichever is higher.
00:56Hafizuddin pleaded not guilty after both charges were read out before Judge Datuk Muhammad Nasir Nordeen.
01:03In a move to streamline proceedings, Deputy Public Prosecutor Mahadi Abdul Jumaat requested that the two charges be transferred to Sessions Court 9 in Kuala Lumpur,
01:13where the previous four charges are being heard.
01:17Judge Muhammad Nasir maintained the bail condition set yesterday by Judge Azura Alwi, 250,000 ringgit, with two sureties.
01:27Hafizuddin must also report to authorities once a month during the first week
01:31and has been ordered to surrender his passport until the case concludes.
01:36The defense, led by lawyer Aizul Rohan Anuar, did not oppose the transfer request.
01:41The case has been set for mention on March 30 at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court, where document submissions are scheduled.
