KUALA LUMPUR: A former Pelaburan Hartanah Berhad manager has pleaded not guilty to transferring RM40,000 in proceeds from illicit activities into his personal bank account.
Dicky Rahmat Abdullah, 50, a former asset management manager is accused of committing the offence three years ago.
According to the charge sheet, Dicky transferred the money from SA Elit Enterprise's Maybank account to his personal Maybank account near Taman Setia Wangsa between Sept 8 and Dec 9, 2021.
The charge was framed under Section 4(1)(b) Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 for money laundering.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Irwan Shah Abdul Samat asked the court to transfer the case to the Shah Alam Sessions Court as Dicky was charged with 10 counts of corruption there last week.
He also requested the court to use the same bail of RM60,000 set by the Shah Alam Sessions Court.
Lawyer Diar Isda Yazmin Ismail who appeared for the accused did not object to the application.
Sessions Court judge Azura Alwi allowed the prosecution's request and fixed April 3 for next mention.
