Four Bangladeshis charged with conspiring to commit online fraud
SUNGAI PETANI: Four Bangladeshi men were charged in the magistrate's court here today with conspiring to carry out online fraud last month.
No plea was recorded after the accused told the court they did not understand Malay when the charge was read out before magistrate Noor Farah Hazwani Osman.
The accused are Rajibul Islam, 32; Muhammad Tawheed, 26; Forkan Ali, 23; and Mohamad Jahir Uddin, 20.
They were jointly accused of conspiring to carry out online fraud at a premises on the first floor of Jalan Pahlawan, Taman Lagenda Indah, at 9.30pm on Oct 21.
The charge was framed under Section 417 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of five years, a fine, or both upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor Nur Hazwani Mohd Noor prosecuted, while all four accused were unrepresented.
The court set bail at RM8,000 each, with two local sureties, and ordered them to surrender their passports.
The case was fixed for mention on Jan 10, 2027, to allow an interpreter to be appointed.
