Tag: Zahid’s trial

The AGC has retracted a letter to High Court Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah asking him to prioritise Zahid's corruption trial.

Najib had asked Zahid to continue the UKSB contract.

Zahid would have been well aware of what the cheques were used for based on the cheque butts.

The High Court today was told that the withdrawal of RM17.9 million from YAB funds by Zahid was to facilitate his daughter’s bid to buy a boutique hotel in Bali.

Zahid spent Yayasan Akalbudi funds on everything but the poor.

Zahid Hamidi was the “boss” in the charitable foundation Yayasan Akalbudi and had control over its funds as a trustee.

The prosecution submitted that this was a premeditated and deliberate scheme by the Zahid to commit a corrupt act.

The prosecution in Zahid's trial argued enough evidence had been adduced to show that he corruptly received a substantial amount of money from several entities.

The High Court in Shah Alam was told today that Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was not transparent and did not follow procedures.

Defence was clearly driven by a false notion that the prosecution had relied on Zahid's statements to charge him in court.

The defence said a prosecution witness had testified that the corruption charges filed against Zahid were slanderous and it was “ridiculous” for MACC to file charges.

Zahid Hamidi never promised to award MYEG contract worth RM50 million to a textile businessman.

The evidence of a hostile prosecution witness in Zahid Hamidi’s corruption trial should be accepted although the prosecution wants it rejected,

Why donation made with cash instead of cheques is unknown as the investigators did not carry out a probe on this.

Zahid Hamidi should be acquitted and discharged of the 27 money laundering charges.
