KUALA LUMPUR: Fugitive Umno politician Datuk Seri Jamal Yunos will be brought to the Ampang Court Complex upon arrival at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on Thursday (July 5) from Indonesia.
Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Mazlan Mansor said the Sungai Besar Umno division chief will face several charges, including fleeing from police custody.
"He will be brought straight to the court from the airport.
"Other charges include outstanding warrants of arrest for other offences," he said, adding that more details will be available during court proceedings.
.It was learned that Jamal would not be flanked by heavily armed police personnel but instead accorded the "normal" treatment for any fugitive.
Jamal's lawyer Datuk Imran Tamrin said his client is due to arrive at KLIA around 2pm, escorted by police personnel.
"He has been treated well by the authorities.
"The solicitor handling his case has been great in assisting the process of his deportation," he said.
Jamal was arrested while having a haircut in Jakarta on July 2.
He is being investigated for at least six offences, including creating public nuisance by breaking bottles of alcohol to protest the Better Beer Festival at the Selangor state secretariat building on Oct 5 last year.
The police launched a manhunt for him after it was discovered that he was missing from his ward at Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital on May 25.
An arrest warrant for him was issued on June 1 for the offence of escaping or resisting police custody.- Star
