Malaysia ‘ready to prosecute’ ex-PM Muhyiddin’s son-in-law for graft, as Anwar’s corruption purge continues

The investigation against Muhammad Adlan Berhan has been completed and “we are ready to prosecute” upon his return to the country, Azam Baki, Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission’s chief, told reporters in Kuala Lumpur.

Adlan faces several charges for criminal breach of trust, he said.

Authorities have been searching for Adlan since August in relation to a probe on a project involving the registration and recruitment of foreign workers.

Mahathir and Muhyiddin – who are both in the opposition – are Anwar’s biggest critics and have alleged that the probes related to them are politically motivated.
