Responding to a question about the legal implications of today’s High Court decision, the aide to DAP’s Lim Kit Siang confirmed the ruling meant a permanent end to the prosecution of the nearly four dozen charges. This morning, High Court judge Muhammad Jamil Hussin granted Musa a full discharge and acquittal after deputy public prosecutor Datuk Azhar Abdul Hamid informed the court that the Attorney General’s Chambers was withdrawing all charges against the Umno leader.
Last month, Riza Shahriz Abd Aziz — the stepson of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak — was conditionally discharged of laundering over US$248 million in funds linked to the 1MDB scandal.
