MELAKA, Oct 10 — The Shariah High Court here today allowed the prosecution’s request to postpone the arraignment of Al-Arqam founder Ashaari Muhammad’s three sons, who were arrested during Op Global last month.
Judge Mohd Yunus Mohamad Zin allowed the arraignment of the three men to December 19, as requested by Melaka chief sharie prosecutor Atras Mohamad Zin.
Atras applied to postpone the arraignment of the three men on a charge under Section 91 of the Shariah Offences Enactment (Melaka) 1991, read together with Section 623 of the same law, so they could be charged along with seven others who were arrested with them.
Lawyers Mohd Hafizudin Ahmad Mispha and Mohd Faizal Mohamad, representing the three brothers, did not object to the application.
In allowing the bid, Yunus set bail of RM3,000 with two sureties each on the three brothers, aged 38, 42 and 45.
The three brothers were among 11 suspects arrested during Op Global raids conducted at 19 premises linked to GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd in the state.
