KLANG: A husband and wife duo, who were the chairman and principal of a tahfiz respectively, were charged at the Klang Magistrate’s Court for misappropriation of funds.
Ahmad Shukri Ghazali, 47, who runs the Maahad Tahfiz Al-Ghazaly in Sungai Udang near here with his wife, was slapped with three charges whilst Zunairah Awang, 38, faced two charges.
The charges were levelled against the couple in three different courts, before magistrates Roslizi Sulaiman, Solehah Noratikah Ismail and Muhammad Azzam Zainal Abidin, as the police reports pertaining to the cases were lodged separately in three different police stations.
In the first charge both Ahmad Shukri and Zunairah, were accused of embezzling RM17,000 meant for payment to send one Nur Irfan Zikry Mohd Azizan to Turkey for further education.
They were accused of committing the offence at Klang branch of CIMB Bank between Nov 14, 2018, and Feb 19, 2019.
For the second alleged offence, the couple were charged for misappropriating RM17,000 meant to send Luqman Hafiz Mohamad Jamil for further education in Turkey.
They allegedly committed the offence at the Klang Agrobank branch.
Ahmad Shukri also faced a third charge without his wife, for misappropriating RM9,600 from one Rinalto Omar. The money was meant to pay for flight tickets to Turkey.
He is alleged to have committed the offence at the Klang branch of Maybank.
The couple, who are expecting their eighth child, claimed trial to all the charges.
If found guilty, the accused could face a prison term of a maximum five years and whipping and fine for each of the charges.
The couple’s lawyer Nor Azri Mohd Arif appealed for bail to be set between RM3,000 and RM4,000 for each of the charges given that the couple have children to care for.
The magistrates set bail that came up to RM9,500 for Ahmad Shukri and RM6,000 for Zunairah.
The couple also claimed trial to three charges last month also for misappropriating funds meant as payments for students to further their studies to Turkey amounting to RM50,600.
