KUALA LUMPUR: The Israeli man arrested with six pistols and 200 rounds of ammunition at a hotel here on March 27 is expected to be charged in court this week, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain.
He said police are continuing with investigations and gathering more information.
"We are investigating the man's real motive for possessing the six firearms. So, maybe charges will be brought against the Israeli man this week after Raya,” he said.
He said this in a press conference after attending a ceremony for handing over the duties of the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) director at the Police Training Centre (Pulapol) here Monday (April 8).
