Musa Aman claims trials to 16 money laundering charges

Former Sabah chief minister Musa Aman today claimed trial to 16 money laundering charges amounting to over US$37 million.

The charges under Section 4(1)(a) of the Anti-Money Laundering Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 were read out to Musa before Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court judge Rozina Ayub.

In the first charge, Musa was accused of indirect involvement in alleged money-laundering activities by instructing for a bank account to be opened at Singapore's UBS ABG Bank under the name of Richard Christopher Barnes, to receive proceeds from an illicit transaction.

He also faced an alternative first charge of instructing for a bank account to be opened at Singapore's UBS ABG Bank under the name of Barnes, to hide his ownership of incomes from alleged illicit activities.

The subsequent 14 charges were related to the alleged transfer of illicit funds through a UBS AG Bank in Central Hong Kong under the name of Barnes between June 21, 2006, and March 25, 2008.

For the final charge, Musa was accused of an alleged attempt to launder money by instructing Barnes to transfer all assets and future inflows into his personal account at UBS AG bank in Zurich.

While the charges were read, Musa was allowed to sit down due to his poor health condition.

If convicted under Section 4(1) of the act, Musa stands to face a jail term of between five and 15 years.
