KUALA LUMPUR: Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman’s bid to move his criminal breach of trust and money laundering cases to the High Court will be heard on Nov 25.
His lawyer Haijan Omar confirmed the date after the application came up for mention today.
High Court judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan is scheduled to hear Syed Saddiq’s transfer bid.
Syed Saddiq’s application for transfer from the sessions court to the higher court is based on grounds that constitutional issues will be raised at the trial.
He is facing four charges of CBT and money laundering at the sessions court in Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru.
He was alleged to have misappropriated a total of RM1.12 million belonging to Bersatu. He was the party’s former youth chief.
From the amount, RM120,000 was said to be party funds for the 2018 general election, while RM1 million was allegedly withdrawn by him without the top leadership’s consent.
Syed Saddiq also pleaded not guilty to two charges of money laundering amounting to RM50,000 each at the Johor Bahru sessions court.
The money laundering case has been transferred to the sessions court here. Both cases are fixed for mention on Sept 10. - FMT
