Former PM Ismail to challenge asset declaration charges in court

Legal representatives for the former prime minister have signalled their intention to mount a challenge against asset declaration charges laid against him. The defence team's application will be grounded in several legal issues that emerged during their review of documents submitted by the prosecution. According to his lawyer, the challenge will address substantive legal matters identified in the case materials. The move represents the next phase in legal proceedings as the case progresses through the courts. The application is expected to be filed once preparations are finalised by the defence counsel.
