Wanted businessman Adlan Berhan, son-in-law of former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin, is reportedly living a life of luxury while evading authorities in the Middle East.
According to the New Straits Times, photos have surfaced showing Adlan mingling with unidentified Middle Eastern dignitaries. The report also claimed that Adlan, who left Malaysia in 2023, has been travelling freely from an undisclosed Middle Eastern country for holidays, including trips to Thailand where he was seen playing golf and visiting a shooting range.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki previously confirmed that Adlan was residing in a Middle Eastern nation with which Malaysia has no extradition treaty.
Adlan and lawyer Mansoor Saat are wanted in connection with a government project involving the alleged misappropriation of funds for the biometric registration, recruitment, and data storage of migrant workers. Adlan faces criminal breach of trust charges related to the case.
In August 2023, Adlan, through his lawyer, denied being on the run, stating he had left Malaysia for business purposes and would return if there were no “threats and persecution.”
