Johor Immigration senior officer Nas Suffian Nasrun, already facing five money laundering charges, was hit with another RM718,710 charge in the KL Sessions Court today.

He pleaded not guilty to transferring the amount through 64 online transactions between July 2022 and June 2023. The charge falls under the Anti-Money Laundering Act and carries up to 15 years' jail and heavy fines if convicted.

Prosecutors proposed RM300,000 bail, but the judge set it at RM100,000 with one surety and adopted existing conditions, including monthly police check-ins and surrendering his passport. The case will be transferred to Shah Alam to be tried with the earlier charges.
