money laundering

China banned trading in cryptocurrencies in 2019 and is increasingly tightening restrictions on bitcoin mining.

The inquiry's report says 53% of the 6,779 passports issued were granted illegally, because of a due diligence vacuum or insufficient background checks.

The hearing has been pushed to Thursday as his lawyer says he has yet to recover from an eye surgery which he underwent last week.

The senior lawyer pleaded not guilty to the charges in September 2018 but his trial dates were vacated to make way for the trials of former PM Najib Razak.

Ad hoc prosecutor V Sithambaram says Najib 'micro-managed' the company and was a 'shadow director' despite never being formally appointed to such a post.

Alvin Goh and his brother Goh Yeong Hui claimed trial to all seven charges against them.

Deputy public prosecutor says the prosecution received instructions from the Attorney-General’s Chambers not to object to the stay application by Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim.

Mun Chol Myong is accused of laundering money through the US financial system between April 2013 and November 2018 to provide luxury items to North Korea.

If convicted, he faces imprisonment of up to 15 years and a fine of not less than five times the amount of the ill-gotten gains, or RM5 million, whichever is higher.

Judge rules among others that Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim failed to show that the charges against him were malicious.

MACC's Mohd Amirudin Nordin says his investigations found no supporting documents or letters to show that the cheques were donations.

MACC investigating officer Mohd Fahmee Mohamad Nor says this is based on his investigation into the case involving the former deputy prime minister.
