PETALING JAYA: Controversial Muslim preacher Zakir Naik has allegedly amassed assets worth Rs193 crore (RM113mil) by diverting funds and donations received from Islamic countries that were meant for the “welfare of Muslims”, says a news report.
The Times of India reported that these assets included at least 20 flats in the cities of Mumbai and Pune in India.
The ED also tracked Rs49 crore received from unexplained sources in Dubai which he further used to book at least 20 flats in Mumbai and Pune, said the report. “The booking amounts were paid by routing of unexplained funds received by Zakir through the bank accounts of his wife, son and niece,” a source was quoted as saying in the report.
Zakir, who is wanted in his home country of India for alleged money-laundering and terrorism, has been living in Malaysia where he has permanent residency.
