Court acquits Rafizi over disclosure of NFC banking data



The Shah Alam High Court this morning set aside convictions against PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli and former Public Bank clerk Johari Mohamad for violating the Banking and Financial Institutions Act (Bafia) by a lower court.
Both men were acquitted and discharged from their 30-month jail sentence.
High Court judge Mohd Yazid Mustafa delivered the decision at the end of Rafizi and Johari's appeal against the convictions over the disclosure of banking data from the accounts of National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) and its chairperson Mohd Salleh Ismail in 2012.
Mohd Yazid ruled that he allowed Rafizi's application as the prosecution had failed to produce original documents as evidence in the trial, which is a requirement under Section 61 of the Evidence Act.

Rafizi Ramli, who is formerly Pandan MP, and Johari Mohamad, was sentenced to 30 months jail by the Shah Alam Sessions Court on Feb 7, 2018 after Judge Zamri Bakar found them guilty of leaking banking data from the accounts of NFC.
Judge Zamri had in his judgement last year said the prosecution had proven beyond reasonable doubt that Rafizi and Johari had violated the Banking and Financial Institutions Act (Bafia).
For the record, Bafia was repealed in 2013.
The two were charged in 2012 for violating Section 97 of Bafia for the disclosure of four accounts belonging to NFC and its chairperson Mohd Salleh Ismail, who is husband of former Wanita Umno chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.
