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

Malaysia’s anti-corruption agency said it is ready to charge former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s son-in-law – who has been wanted by authorities since last year – for graft once he returns to the country.

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.
