FORMER Bersatu information chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan is set to be charged tomorrow at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court under section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.

A source said an MP faced more than 15 charges, with the value of money allegedly laundered amounting to about RM6 million.

The source said the MP was summoned by the MACC today to have his statement recorded, and that a Bersatu division chief would be charged under the same act for allegedly laundering RM500,000.

MACC chief Azam Baki when contacted confirmed the matter but refused to comment.

Wan Saiful, who is also Tasik Gelugor MP, confirmed he would be facing charges tomorrow.

Previously, he faced two charges linked to the Jana Wibawa initiative, a stimulus package introduced by the then Perikatan Nasional government to help Bumiputera contractors during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In February, Wan Saiful denied accepting a bribe of nearly RM7 million through projects commissioned under Jana Wibawa.

He also pleaded not guilty to soliciting an unspecified sum of money for a road project worth RM232 million, also in relation to Jana Wibawa. – October 24, 2023.
