A case has been filed against the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Muhyiddin Yassin, on six charges including money laundering, abuse of power. Earlier, he was arrested after interrogation on Thursday.
After the case, the former prime minister was brought to a court in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, on Friday (March 10).
Muhyuddin Yasin was arrested after only three months of fighting as a strong opponent of the ruling party in the general elections. On this day, many people appeared in the court premises to support him. Senior leaders and workers of the party were also present. They claim that the rulers are trying to weaken Muhyuddin politically.
The country’s anti-corruption agency arrested Muhyuddin on Thursday after questioning him for receiving financial benefits from government projects. If the charges are proved, the leader can be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years in prison.
Earlier, the country’s highest court sentenced another former prime minister, Najib Razak, to 12 years in prison in a money laundering case.
