A legal chronology from the September 2024 enforcement operation through asset freezes, organised-crime proceedings, expanding AMLA charges and the October 2026 decision to proceed to trial.
Police raided 20 charity homes linked to GISBH in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, rescued 402 children and teenagers and arrested 171 people for investigation.
The four accused have pleaded not guilty to the money-laundering charges. The prosecution says it will proceed, with trial dates in April, June and July 2027, while the defence plans another representation whose status will be reviewed in January.
Each step is dated and sourced. Statements, allegations, decisions and confirmed actions stay labelled separately so the timeline does not turn one side's claim into an established fact.
Police raided 20 charity homes linked to GISBH in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, rescued 402 children and teenagers and arrested 171 people for investigation.
GISBH issued a statement denying allegations that it exploited children as workers and said it would not compromise with unlawful activity.
Police said 155 more suspects were arrested and 186 victims rescued in Phase Four, involving thousands of police and government personnel.
By this point Bernama reported more than 300 arrests, 572 rescued victims and seven suspects already charged across 29 counts.
Police reported 138 bank accounts frozen with more than RM800,000 in funds, 22 vehicles valued at about RM1.87 million seized and 14 properties seized.
These were enforcement seizures reported during the investigation; they are distinct from the later money-laundering charge totals.
Nasiruddin Mohd Ali, his wife and 20 others were charged with being members of an organised crime group under Section 130V(1) of the Penal Code.
This organised-crime case is legally separate from the later money-laundering prosecution followed in the rest of this chronology.
At the Shah Alam Sessions Court, the four pleaded not guilty to 264 money-laundering counts then reported at RM40.01 million.
Additional filings and transfers across courts later changed the consolidated count. PulseKita therefore treats 264 as the charge set reported on this date, not the final current total.
Nasiruddin and 21 others pleaded guilty to an alternative charge of being members of GISBH as an unlawful organisation. Thirteen men were jailed 15 months and nine women were fined RM4,500 each.
This outcome does not determine guilt on the separate AMLA charges, which continue on their own track.
The Shah Alam Sessions Court allowed the prosecution to consolidate cases transferred from Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Kulim, involving more than RM38.1 million.
The court fixed October for a decision on representations submitted by the former CEO and three former accountants. The contents of the additional representation were not disclosed.
Prosecutors told the Shah Alam Sessions Court they expect to call 15 to 20 witnesses. Trial dates were fixed for April 26–28, June 28–30 and July 6–8, 2027.
The defence said it intends to submit another representation exploring, among other matters, a possible compound resolution. The court fixed 26 January 2027 to review the status of that second representation.
The four accused have pleaded not guilty to the money-laundering charges. The prosecution says it will proceed, with trial dates in April, June and July 2027, while the defence plans another representation whose status will be reviewed in January.
01Will the second defence representation result in any compound offer, charge change or other resolution before trial?
02What evidence will the prosecution's 15 to 20 witnesses present across the 331 consolidated charges?
03Will all currently scheduled 2027 trial dates proceed as planned?
04How will seized assets and their return or continued detention affect the defence's next representation?
05What factual overlap, if any, will emerge between the AMLA case and the already-resolved unlawful-organisation case?
0126 January 2027: status of the second representation.
02Any AGC decision on a proposed compound or revised charges.
0326–28 April 2027: first scheduled AMLA trial block.
0428–30 June and 6–8 July 2027: later scheduled trial blocks.
05Any court ruling changing the consolidated charge structure or admissibility of evidence.
