Financial consultant charged with misappropriating property in house purchase deal


KUALA LUMPUR: A financial consultant pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here on Friday (Oct 11) to charges of dishonest misappropriation of property, involving about RM279,000, two years ago.

Amir Ashraf Abdullah, 50, is alleged to have misappropriated a RHB Bank ATM card belonging to his former teacher, a 66-year-old woman, by using it to transfer RM161,000 in housing loan from the account into his company’s account.

The offence was allegedly committed at a restaurant in Bangsar here in February 2022.

He was also charged with committing a similar offence, involving RM118,147 belonging to the teacher’s daughter-in-law at a hotel in Dang Wangi here between June 29 and Sept 30, 2022.

Both charges are framed under Section 403 of the Penal Code which provides a maximum imprisonment of six years and whipping, as is also liable to a fine, upon conviction.

Judge Hamidah Mohamed Deril allowed Amir Ashraf, represented by lawyer Mohd Syawal Mohd Razak, bail of RM7,000 with one surety for each charge and set Nov 18 for mention. - Bernama
