KUALA LUMPUR : Businessman
Datuk Shamsubahrin Ismail seems to be running out of fingers and toes to keep
track of the prosecution cases against him that are related to the scandal-hit
National Feedlot Centre (NFC).
The 45-year-old was today
charged with 17 counts of money laundering totalling more than RM4.1 million.
He was previously charged
with five counts of cheating National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp) chairman
Datuk Seri Mohamad Salleh Ismail of RM1.76 million in fraudulent consultancy
fees.
The CEO of Shamsubahrin
Ismail Resources Sdn Bhd could be fined up to RM5 million or jailed a maximum
of five years, or both if convicted under section 4(1)(a) of the Anti-Money
Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001.
Session Court judge S.M.
Komathy Suppiah set bail at RM30,000 with one surety and fixed June 29 for
mention, The Star reported today.
The English-language daily
also reported Komathy ordering Shamsubahrin to be tried together with his five
earlier NFCorp cheating charges.
NFCorp hit the national
headlines after it made it into the Auditor-General’s Report last year for
missing production targets.
