'''Arrest'''
In June 2012, Kong Hee and four other members of the church were arrested by the CAD. All five face multiple charges of criminal breach of trust, while three (not including Kong Hee) face multiple charges of falsifying accounts of the church. They were released on $500,000 bail each, and set to return to court on July 25.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-19">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong_Hee#cite_note-19 [19]]</sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-20">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong_Hee#cite_note-20 [20]]</sup> Each of the three counts of criminal breach of trust he faces has a maximum sentence of life imprisonment plus fine.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-21">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong_Hee#cite_note-21 [21]]</sup>
On the same day as the initial arrests, the COC released a press statement detailing the results of its inquiry. It stated that there were misconduct and mismanagement in the administration of the charity. There were irregularities of at least $23 million in the charity's funds, which were used to finance Sun Ho's secular music career. There was also a concerted effort to conceal this movement of funds from stakeholders. Eight members were suspended from their duties with the charity. The eight included the five arrested, Sun Ho and two others. The COC is considering further course of action under the Charities Act.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-22">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong_Hee#cite_note-22 [22]]</sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-23">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong_Hee#cite_note-23 [23]]</sup>
The case has been adjourned twice and is now set for Oct 4.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong_Hee#cite_note-24 [[File:Kristenina.jpg|thumb|One of Kong Hee's supporter, she is also known to strip at the beach...]]]
