PETALING JAYA: The pre-trial detention of 24 people from the controversial Global Ikhwan Service and Business Holdings (GISBH) has been extended by four days.

The individuals form the top management of GISBH, including controversial CEO Nasiruddin Ali and his wife.

According to The Star, Judge Mohamad Redza Azhar Rezali and Judge Muhammad Syafiq Sulaiman extended the suspects’ pre-trial detention by four days until Saturday (September 28).

The 24 people, aged between 25 and 65, were initially held for seven days.
