KUALA LUMPUR – Segambut Bersatu deputy chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad has claimed trial to a charge of using proceeds from an unlawful activity.
The businessman pleaded not guilty after the charge was read to him before sessions court judge Rozina Ayob at the Kuala Lumpur court complex, here today.
Adam Radlan was charged under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUAA).
As per the charge sheet, he was accused of utilising the funds, amounting to RM500,000, which was held in his CIMB Bank account.

Adam Radlan could face a jail term of up to 15 years and a fine of not less than five times the value of the proceeds involved, or RM5 million, whichever is higher, if found guilty.
The 42-year-old was represented by Datuk Seri Rajan Navaratnam, while deputy public prosecutor Nor Asma Ahmad appeared for the prosecution.
Rozina fixed the case for further mention on October 31.
