THREE people believed to be linked to Global Ikhwan Service and Business Holdings (GISB) are expected to be charged in three separate courts today.
According to reports, one case involves a Ustaz who is expected to be charged at the Port Dickson magistrate's court in Negeri Sembilan.
Another Ustaz is expected to be charged at the Seremban Sessions Court while a third member has arrived at the Putrajaya magistrate's court.
These three cases are the first related to GISBH after Op Global was launched by the police on September 11.
The raids conducted on 20 welfare homes allegedly linked to the group saw 402 people, some as young as a year old, rescued.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain had said that GISBH had been on the police watch list since 2011 and that the raids were the culmination of a six-month probe to gather intelligence, build a case and formulate an action plan.
