LAST week, a businessman was acquitted of four charges of corruption involving RM49.7mil by the Sessions Court. The said businessman was at the centre of a controversy a couple of years ago, involving alleged improprieties where a company received public funds. These allegations were made by an Opposition MP, following from findings made by the Auditor-General at that time.
The acquittal of the said businessman was pursuant to the decision of the Attorney-General to drop the charges against the said businessman after studying a letter of representation sent by counsel for the accused. It was not made after a full trial and where the Sessions Court found him not guilty.
