Malaysia arrests CEO of Islamic firm as police widen raids in child sex abuse case

Despite acknowledging that “one or two” cases of adultery occurred on Saturday, GISB’s Nasiruddin had refuted allegations of widespread mistreatment at the youth treatment houses and other misconduct.

More than 400 children and students were rescued from GISB-run homes next week, despite the organization’s defense that it manages the facilities. Many of those rescued showed signs of abuse, as well as physical and sexual victimization, authorities say.

Razarudin claimed that Nasiruddin’s two ladies, his children, and many children of later Malaysian preacher Ashaari Mohamed, the leader of the Al-Arqam spiritual sect, were among those detained on Thursday due to allegations that he had spread deviant Islamic teachings in the Muslim-majority nation.

According to Razarudin, three other gentlemen detained as part of the GISB police investigation were also charged in court on Thursday.

According to court records obtained by Reuters, the men, who entered a not-guilty plea, are accused of sexually assaulting kids at a religious school in Negeri Sembilan condition.

Each fee carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, punishment, or both.

In connection with its investigation into GISB, which operates businesses ranging from mini-marts to restaurants and traveling service, police previously charged two additional individuals.

The organization is also under inspection for money laundering, spiritual crimes and other atrocities.
