KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin will file an application to strike out three charges against him, the Sessions Court heard Tuesday (Sept 19).

Lead defence counsel Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik said the application for the charges under Section 4 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 will be filed soon.“In regards to the main trial of the three charges, we will file an application to set aside the cases under Section 173 of the CPC.

Muhyiddin, 76, did not appear at the proceedings on Tuesday and was reportedly granted an exemption from the court. He faced two charges for allegedly receiving proceeds of RM195mil from Bukhary Equity which was transferred to Bersatu’s bank account between Feb 25, 2021 and July 8 last year. The decision on the joint trial application for the remaining charges had been postponed as requested by the prosecution on Tuesday following the High Court’s decision to acquit Muhyiddin of four charges in August.
