Malaysian authorities arrested Nasiruddin Mohd Ali, CEO of Global Ikhwan Services and Business (GISB) Holdings, and 18 senior managers on Thursday. The arrests followed allegations of sexual abuse at charity homes run by the conglomerate. The police raid targeted four locations in Kuala Lumpur, with additional detentions at the Thai border.
Nasiruddin, along with his two wives, children, and relatives of the late Malaysian preacher Ashaari Mohamed, were among those arrested. GISB, linked to a banned sect, denies managing the shelters, although over 400 children rescued from the homes showed signs of abuse and neglect.
The detained individuals face charges of sexual assault at a religious school in Negeri Sembilan, with maximum penalties including 20 years in prison and caning. Police have also charged two others in connection with the investigation, which includes inquiries into money laundering and religious offences.
GISB operates globally in sectors ranging from retail to travel services. The company’s representative did not respond to requests for comment, and Nasiruddin and his lawyer were unavailable.
