IGP: Over 100 investigation papers were filed into GISBH as part of the current crackdown

Since September 11, the launch of Op Global, a total of 103 investigation documents have been initiated in connection with Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISBH).

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain verified to Harian Metro today that 98 of these investigations were under the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), with one under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) 2012.

The remaining individuals are currently under investigation for violations of the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001 (Amla) and other offenses.

“The deputy public prosecutor has classified 41 cases as no further action, while 22 individuals have been charged, and sixty-three investigation papers have been completed,” he stated in a statement to the national daily.

Razarudin also disclosed that 416 individuals were apprehended during the operation, with the majority of them being 18 years of age or older. This included 189 males and 227 women.

43 individuals have been accused with a variety of offenses, including 22 under Section 130 of the Penal Code, out of the individuals who were detained.

Furthermore, 201 individuals were released without conditions, while 168 individuals were granted police bond.

Two individuals have been delivered over to the Immigration Department for deportation, while two others have been transferred to the Kedah State Islamic Affairs Department.

The police are expected to make additional arrests if credible information or complaints are received, as they continue their surveillance and investigations.

Razarudin responded that GISBH is still an organized organization that exploits vulnerable individuals, particularly children and women, and manipulates adherents through ideology and faith distortion. When asked whether GISBH’s activities in Malaysia had been completely dismantled, Razarudin stated that they had not.

The group’s leader and its deviant teachings are the objects of extreme loyalty, he continued.

Razarudin observed that the government’s aggressive measures, such as the establishment of a task force headed by the National Security Council (MKN) to ensure the group’s activities are completely disrupted, necessitate a sustained and coordinated approach to dismantle GISBH’s operations.

These endeavors encompass the rehabilitation of the group’s members and the rescue of victims, in addition to the pursuit of Shariah law violations and criminal offenses.
