Two Sri Lankan men were charged in the Sessions Court in Malaysia today with 72 counts of possession of fake international bank cards.

Kabilthev Naguleswaran, 33, and Shanmugaraja Shabesan, 26, claimed trial to all the charges read to them in Tamil by an interpreter.

The two accused were allegedly in possession of the ATM, debit and credit cards with international bank account numbers, at W-25-08, Axis Sohu in Jalan Cempaka, Taman Cempaka, Ampang Jaya around 7.50pm on Feb 17.

Their victims allegedly lost about USD15,000 (RM48,834) in the deception. Datuk Noradida Ahmad did not set any bail and fixed trial for three days, from May 14.

She also set March 27 for re mention of the case. Deputy public prosecutor Faten Hadni Khairuddin prosecuted while the duo was represented by Counsel C. Vignesh Kumar. (Bernama)
