JOHOR BAHRU: The sessions court here has acquitted former state exco Abdul Latif Bandi and two others on charges of corruption and money laundering involving RM35.7 million
On June 14, 2017, Latif, Ahmad Fauzan and Amir Shariffuddin Abd Raub, 49, were charged with 33 counts of corruption and four counts involving money laundering. The trio pleaded not guilty to the charges.
On April 21, 2019, the sessions court acquitted and discharged the three of them of the 37 charges after finding the prosecution had failed to prove a prima facie case.
However, on Nov 7, 2021, the High Court ordered the former chairman of the state housing and local government committee and the two others to enter their defence on the 37 charges, following a ruling by judge Abu Bakar Katar that the sessions court had erred in its decision.
