Kuala lumpur: The prosecution is committed to proving its case against former Army Chief General Tan Sri Muhammad Hafizuddeain Jantan and his wife, Salwani Anuar @ Kamaruddin, who stand accused of money laundering involving millions of ringgit.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin stated that, despite the risks and complexities in handling the case, the prosecution team would do its utmost to secure a conviction. The case involves millions of ringgit, and the team is dedicated to proving their case to the best of their ability.

Datuk Wan Shaharuddin mentioned that Muhammad Hafizuddeain will face two additional money laundering charges at the Shah Alam Sessions Court, while his wife will face a similar charge at the Jertih Sessions Court in Terengganu. These cases will be transferred and consolidated for a joint trial at the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur.

Meanwhile, Muhammad Hafizuddeain's lawyer, Aizul Rohan Anuar, asserted that his client will vigorously contest the charges to clear his name. He emphasized that the case is at a preliminary stage and that his client has not been proven guilty.

Earlier, the couple appeared before two separate Sessions Courts to face the money laundering charges. Muhammad Hafizuddeain, 58, pleaded not guilty to four counts of receiving more than RM2.12 million, allegedly derived from unlawful activities. His wife, Salwani, pleaded not guilty to four charges of receiving a total of RM77,000 from similar illicit proceeds.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had detained the former Army chief and his two wives under 'Ops Parasit' in connection with tender procurement projects.
