Pada 30 Ogos lalu, warga Britain itu didakwa di Mahkamah Sesyen Kuala Lumpur atas tuduhan melakukan tujuh kesalahan di antara 23 Disember 2003 dan 7 Disember 2004.

Dia yang memegang jawatan Pengarah Syarikat New Mark Business Centre Sdn Bhd dituduh menerima wang RM7 juta hasil kegiatan haram menerusi akaun PIC Capital Ventures (M) Sdn Bhd di Malayan Banking Berhad cawangan Jalan 3/76D, Desa Pandan.

Pada hari sama, dia bersama isterinya, Phan Sew Ken, 50, didakwa di Mahkamah Sesyen Seremban atas 41 pertuduhan berasingan menerima wang deposit hasil aktiviti haram berjumlah RM26.7 juta.

Pasangan dari Bandar Sunway, Petaling Jaya itu yang memegang jawatan pengarah di syarikat Pic Pay Dot Com Sdn Bhd didakwa melakukan kesalahan itu antara 4 Januari hingga 14 Jun 2005 di Eon Bank Group, Taman Semarak, Nilai.

Pada prosiding 19 September lalu di sini, mereka didakwa atas tujuh lagi tuduhan tambahan berkaitan kesalahan sama membabitkan wang deposit RM11.78 juta hasil aktiviti haram.

Marsden turut menghadapi dua tuduhan lain mengikut akta sama menerima wang haram RM106,000 menggunakan akaun persendirian bernombor 09610001964 pada 28 Januari 2004 dan 20 Februari 2004 di bank sama.

Pasangan itu didakwa mengikut Seksyen 4 (1) Akta Pencegahan Pengubahan Wang Haram (AMLA) 2001 dibaca bersama Seksyen 87(1) akta sama, membawa hukuman penjara sehingga lima tahun, denda sehingga RM5 juta atau kedua-duanya jika sabit kesalahan.

Kes berkenaan adalah yang pertama disiasat dan didakwa Bank Negara sejak AMLA diperkenalkan pada 2001.
