PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who was acquitted of four power abuse charges in August, is seeking a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) on three counts of money laundering involving RM200mil linked to the Jana Wibawa programme.
He has filed an application through law firm Messrs Chetan Jethwani and Co for a DNAA under Section 173 of the Criminal Procedure Code.Muhyiddin filed the application saying the the three charges, under the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001, were now"baseless" following the High Court decision on Aug 15 to strike out the four abuse of power charges.
The former prime minister said in his affidavit it would be unreasonable and unfair for him to continue facing the aforementioned charges as a prolonged trial would affect his quality of life and reputation.He added that his rights under Articles 5 and 8 of the Federal Constitution would also be affected if the application is disallowed.
The Bersatu president and Pagoh MP faces two money-laundering charges of receiving money from illegal activities amounting to RM195mil from Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd, deposited into the party's CIMB bank account. Muhyiddin was also charged in the Shah Alam Sessions Court on March 13 for receiving money from illegal activities amounting to RM5mil.Appeals court judge recuses self from hearing Najib's bid to reinstate suit against ex-AG
