Bersatu’s Wan Saiful says to be charged with money laundering tomorrow
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 — Tasek Gelugor MP Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan, who was previously charged with corruption over the federal government’s Jana Wibawa scheme, said today he is set to face more charges for money laundering.
In confirming the criminal charges against him, Wan Saiful said he has received instructions to present himself at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex at 8.30am tomorrow.
“I am told there are new charges against me under AMLA. Specifics of the charges is still unclear at the moment.
“I will be present to defend myself and I am confident the court is the best place to seek justice,” he said in a Facebook posting.
AMLA refers to the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act.
On February 21, Wan Saiful pleaded not guilty to a charge of soliciting money from Lian Tan Chuan as an inducement to help Nepturis Sdn Bhd obtain the “Central Spine Road: Sertik to East Coast Expressway junction” project valued at RM232 million from the government of Malaysia.
He was also charged with receiving bribes totalling RM6,962,694.54 into the CIMB Bank Berhad account owned by his company WSA Advisory Group Sdn Bhd from Syarikat Nepturis Sdn Bhd’s Maybank Islamic Berhad account as a fee for assisting Nepturis to obtain a Letter of Acceptance for the project.
