KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic) is expected to be charged today at the Sessions Court here under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act.
Based on a court system check, the charge against the Bera MP will be read before judge Suzana Hussin at 9am.
According to Bernama, the case against Ismail Sabri is believed to be related to the declaration of assets.
He had previously been summoned on multiple occasions to record his statement regarding his asset declaration to MACC.
During investigations into alleged corruption and money laundering, the MACC seized RM170mil in cash in various foreign currencies as well as 16kg of pure gold bullion valued at RM7mil.
The seizures were carried out during raids on properties believed to have been used as safe houses following the February 2025 arrests of four of Ismail Sabri’s senior officers.
Ismail Sabri was the ninth prime minister, serving from August 2021 until November 2022.
Hailing from Umno, he has been serving as the MP for Bera since 2004.
