Johor graft probe nets shariah officer and lawyer

Two guys allegedly turned holy paperwork into a cash grab scheme involving massive bribes. The Johor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission just locked up a Shariah officer and a lawyer for demanding RM91000 to fix Islamic asset transfers. Authorities claim these suspects accepted payoffs in exchange for rubber-stamping Hibah Confirmation Orders, which handle ownership distribution.

Magistrate Tuan Ahmad Khairuddin Khalid approved a seven-day remand order that keeps them behind bars until January 20. Investigators grabbed the pair at the Johor Bahru headquarters yesterday evening when they showed up to give statements.

Johor MACC findings suggest this duo conspired together between 2016 and 2018. The agency indicated that thirteen different grant recipients paid RM7000 each in cold, hard cash to get their documents sorted.

Director Hairuzam Mohmad Amin@Hamim noted that probes continue under Section 16(a)(B) of the MACC Act 2009. That law targets anyone soliciting gratification regarding official duties connected to public servants.
