PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has detained former Pas deputy president Datuk Dr Nasharudin Mat Isa. “MACC has received the green light from the Attorney-General’s Chambers to charge the former Pas deputy president at the Shah Alam Sessions Court at 9am tomorrow (Oct 22). “Nasharuddin will be charged under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act,” said MACC in a statement. Last February, the former Pas deputy president had spent more than three hours giving his statement to the graft busters over allegations that several Pas leaders had received RM90 million from the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB). Nik Abduh was reported to have gone to the MACC office in Kelantan to have his statement recorded.
