In April 2017, all three were charged with 33 offences under Section 28 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act that prohibits the abetting or engagement in a criminal conspiracy to commit any offence under the Act. Abdul Latif was accused of conspiring with Amir to receive bribes from several individuals in order to obtain approval for the release of some Bumiputra housing lots to the public, as well as to reduce payments in contribution to the Johor Housing Fund for the Pulai Eco Botanic project.

The MACC also froze 45 bank accounts valued at RM15.5 million and seized 21 luxury cars, five high-powered motorcycles, RM500,000 in cash, including foreign currencies, as well as documents to assist investigations then.
