FORMER Army chief Tan Sri Muhammad Hafizuddeain Jantan was charged with two additional counts of money laundering at the Shah Alam Sessions Court today.
He was accused of receiving RM30,000 and RM115,000 in his bank account between Sept 19, 2024 and May 19, 2025.
The offence allegedly took place at a bank in Ampang Point.
He pleaded not guilty to both charges after they were read out before Judge Datuk Mohd Nasir Nordin.
The charges were framed under Section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act, punishable by a jail term of up to 15 years and a fine of not less than five times the alleged sum of gratification, upon conviction.
Yesterday, Hafizuddeain pleaded not guilty to four charges involving more than RM2.12 million in alleged proceeds from unlawful activities at the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur.
His third wife, Salwani Anuar, 27, was also charged yesterday and pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court with four counts of corruption involving RM77,000, mirroring the legal troubles faced by her husband.
Mohd Nasir Nordin today granted the prosecution’s application to transfer the RM145,000 money laundering charges for hearing at the Kuala Lumpur sessions court, with yesterday's other four charges. - January 23, 2026
