KUALA LUMPUR: The businessman known as “Datuk Roy” and a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officer have been charged with soliciting bribes totalling RM400,000 in investigations involving the son of former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Datuk Roy, whose full name is Mohd Hussein Mohd Nasir, 54, was jointly charged with Mohd Rasyidi Mohd Said, 43, with seeking bribes of RM400,000 and receiving RM240,000.
The men faced a second charge of receiving a RM240,000 bribe from one Syed Farid Syed Al-Attas as an inducement not to remand Fakhri Yassin during the investigation. “We seek for a transfer under Section 61 of the MACC Act. Bail and mitigation will be brought up at the next court,” Wan Shaharuddin said.
The bribe was said to be an inducement to have the investigating authority proffer a lesser charge, to change the testimony of the accused to the witness, and to reduce the bail money involved in MACC’s case involving Segambut Bersatu deputy chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad.The two face imprisonment of up to 20 years and a fine of not less than five times the amount of gratification or RM10,000, whichever is higher.
