Ex-prime minister's lawyer says the application will be based on several legal issues after a review of documents provided by the prosecution.
Ismail’s lawyer Amer Hamzah Arshad said the application would be filed soon based on several legal issues after a review of documents provided by the prosecution, Kosmo reported.
During case management before sessions court judge Suzana Hussin, deputy public prosecutor Ifa Sirrhu Samsudin said some of the documents were handed to the defence today.
These include seized documents and asset declaration documents belonging to Ismail.
The judge fixed Dec 4 for case mention.
On Aug 27, Ismail claimed trial to failing to comply with the terms of an MACC asset declaration notice. He is accused of failing to declare money held in several currencies, as well as five gold bars, one silver bar and one gold coin.
The undeclared sums allegedly include RM14.77 million, S$6.1 million, US$1.46 million, 3 million Swiss francs, 12.2 million euros, 363 million Japanese yen, 50,250 pounds, NZ$44,600, 34.8 million dirhams and A$352,850.
If found guilty, the former Umno vice-president could face up to five years in jail and a maximum RM100,000 fine. - FMT
