KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia on Monday charged a former finance chief with failing to declare assets, the latest move in a corruption probe that's targeting several people connected to a former prime minister.

Former finance minister Daim Zainuddin, who left office more than 20 years ago, is a key ally of ex-premier Mahathir Mohamed. Both argue that the probe is politically motivated and that prosecutors have ignored potential corruption among allies of the current government.
