PUTRAJAYA: The prime minister’s former political secretary Shamsul Iskandar Akin and controversial businessman Albert Tei will be charged for corruption, the nation’s top graft buster said.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Azam Baki said the duo would be slapped with five charges each.
They will be charged at the Kuala Lumpur sessions court tomorrow and at the Shah Alam sessions court on Friday.
Shamsul and Tei were nabbed after the latter claimed he had bribed the Melaka PKR chief to recover funds purportedly distributed to Sabah assemblymen.
Azam said a woman named Sofia Rini Buyong, who had been investigated by MACC in connection with Tei’s allegations, however will not be charged.
“She is a witness for the prosecution,” he said at a press conference here.
