When is the hearing date for the gold bullion forfeiture case?

Question

Accepted Answer

The hearing for the forfeiture of 3.85 kg of gold bullion is scheduled for July 31.

The Sessions Court has set July 31 as the date for the hearing concerning the forfeiture of 3.85 kg of gold bullion. This follows the court's decision to allow the government's application for a third-party notice in the Gazette. The gold bullion was seized from contractor Mohamad Amirul Yusrie Aminorddin @ Ab Kadir, an acquaintance of Salwani Anuar @ Kamaruddin, the wife of former Army Chief Tan Sri Muhammad Hafizuddeain Jantan.
Third-Party Notice Allowed

The Sessions Court permitted the government's request to issue a third-party notice in the Gazette. This legal mechanism is designed to allow any party with an interest in the gold bullion to come forward and challenge its forfeiture. The application was made under Section 41(2) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009.
No Objection from Owner

Lawyer Muhammad Kausar Mohd Khairi confirmed that his client, Mohamad Amirul Yusrie, did not object to the government's application for the third-party notice. This confirmation was provided to the court before Judge Suzana Hussin set the hearing date. Without any third-party claims, the seized asset is liable for forfeiture to the government.
Forfeiture Proceedings Initiated

The prosecution, represented by Deputy Public Prosecutor Mahadi Abdul Jumaat, filed the notice on May 4, seeking to forfeit the gold bullion to the government. The seizure of the bullion itself was conducted under Subsection 41(1) of the MACC Act 2009. This action is part of a broader operation that began in December 2025.
Context of Ops Parasit

The gold bullion in question is linked to Ops Parasit, an operation targeting activities related to a former Army Chief. According to former MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki, the total value of seizures in this operation was estimated at RM11.4 million. This includes various assets such as cash, foreign currency, vehicles, luxury watches, jewellery, and other gold items, alongside the 3.85 kg of gold bullion.
