Both men were working in the same team at the oil giant's Pulau Bukom facility.
Former Shell employee Muzaffar Ali Khan Muhamad Akram at the Supreme Court on July 2. He and another ex-employee pleaded guilty to multiple offences.Muzaffar Ali Khan Muhamad Akram, 42, who helped misappropriate gas oil worth nearly $120 million, made at least $1.3 million in profits.
Both were working in the same team at the Pulau Bukom facility that was primarily responsible for loading fuel products onto vessels berthed at the wharf. When the gas oil was being illegally loaded, the team, including Muzaffar and Koh, coordinated their activities through group chats on their mobile phones that they subsequently deleted.
The prosecution sought 27 years and 10 months’ jail for Muzaffar, and 23 years and 10 months’ jail for Koh. “However, compared to other conspirators, Koh played a leadership role in the syndicate, arising in part from his seniority. He was involved in decision-making in a way that Cai Zhi Zhong and Tiah Kok Hwee were not involved,” added DPP Ong.
