Immigration officer out on bail to face more charges tomorrow
KUALA LUMPUR: An Immigration Department senior deputy assistant director who claimed trial yesterday to laundering nearly RM1 million will face additional charges tomorrow.
Nas Suffian Nasrun, 41, is currently out on a RM100,000 bail after he was slapped with five charges of money laundering involving RM933,295 at the Shah Alam Sessions Court yesterday. The offences were allegedly committed between 2022 and last year.
Tomorrow, he is expected to be charged at the Sessions Court, here, with one count under the Anti-Money Laundering Act, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act..
This was confirmed by Nas Suffian's lawyer, Muhammad Zaim Rosli.
On Tuesday, Nas Suffian was accused of being involved in online transactions of the monies from illegal activities from a special pass agent's bank account to his.
He was also accused of receiving money and making multiple transactions to transfer it to the bank accounts of his accomplice, who is also an immigration officer, his mother and a company.
He allegedly committed the offences at two banks in Kajang and Kota Damanara between July 29, 2022 and Sept 23 last year.
Each charge carries a jail term not exceeding 15-years and a fine not less than five times the amount from illegal proceeds or RM5 million, whichever is higher, upon conviction.
