Abdul Azeez, who is also Umno Supreme Council member, is facing three counts of allegedly receiving bribes totalling RM5.2 million over road projects in Perak and Kedah, and nine counts of money laundering of nearly RM140 million, while Abdul Latif faces two charges of allegedly abetting Abdul Azeez in receiving the bribes.
Athimulan explained to the court that the Attorney-General’s Chambers had applied for transfer of Abdul Azeez and Abdul Latif’s cases from the Sessions Court to the High Court and the defence supported the prosecution’s application. For the money laundering charges, Abdul Azeez was accused of committing the offences around the Klang Valley between March 8, 2010, and August 30, last year.
