This follows a unanimous decision by the three-men bench of the Court of Appeal today to dismiss Ahmad Zahid’s appeal against the decision made by Kuala Lumpur High Court judge, Collin Lawrence Sequerah, on November 8 last year. Judge Sequerah made the decision after finding that the present 12 charges against Ahmad Zahid are clear and the accused could understand them for preparing his defence, thus not raising any issue of prejudice.
On October 19 and December 14, 2018, as well as February 20 this year, Ahmad Zahid had pleaded not guilty to a total of 47 charges, 12 of which are for CBT, eight for bribery and 27 for money laundering involving tens of millions of ringgit belonging to Yayasan Akalbudi.Earlier, Ahmad Zahid’s lawyer Hisyam Teh Poh Teik submitted that the application to consolidate the 12 charges to become three, was meant to prevent unfairness and prejudice to his client.
