SHAH ALAM, Nov 11 — All of the 230 money laundering cases, involving more than RM24.1 million, facing GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) chief executive officer Nasiruddin Mohd Ali and three former accountants, will be jointly heard before Sessions Court Fatimah Zahari.
Judge Awang Kerisnada Awang Mahmud (Criminal Sessions Court 2) made the order after allowing the prosecution's application to consolidate all the cases previously heard before him and Judge Fatimah under a single judge.
During the proceedings, Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Mohd Ashrof Adrin Kamarul said the consolidation was sought to save time and costs for all parties involved.
“It will also facilitate the attendance of witnesses and the parties concerned, as well as assist in pre-trial preparations and ensure the smooth progress of the trial,” he said, appearing together with DPP Mohd Izham Mohd Marzuki.
Lawyers Datuk Rosli Kamaruddin and Nurainaa Kamilah Zalizan, representing the accused, did not object to the prosecution’s application. The court then set January 29, 2026, for mention.
On September 10, Nasiruddin, 66, and the three former accountants: Hamimah Yakub, 73; Asmat @ Asmanira Muhammad Ramly, 45; and Mohd Khusairi Osman, 54, pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.
Nasiruddin is charged with 77 counts of money laundering involving RM10,084,323.70, while Hamimah is facing 59 charges involving RM2,145,357.62, Asmanira with 43 charges involving RM3,806,392.01, and Khusairi with 51 charges involving RM8,136,047.51.
All the offences were allegedly committed at bank branches around Selangor between 2020 and 2024, involving transactions with several parties, including bank accounts belonging to GISBH, GISB Mart Sdn Bhd, GISB Travel and Tours Sdn Bhd, and a childcare centre.
They were charged under Subsection 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (Act 613), which is punishable under Subsection 4(1) of the same Act.
Upon conviction, they may face imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 years and a fine of not less than five times the value of the proceeds of illegal activities at the time the offence was committed, or RM5 million, whichever is higher.
