Zahid not criminally liable over CBT charges, lawyer tells court


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The prosecution has failed to prove a prima facie case in all 12 criminal breach of trust (CBT) charges against Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi involving Yayasan Akalbudi funds as his former aide had control and custody over the cheque books belonging to the foundation and the former deputy prime minister, the High Court was told on Tuesday (Sept 7).

Defence counsel Hamidi Mohd Noh said the issuance of all 52 cheques in the 12 CBT charges is linked to Ahmad Zahid’s former executive secretary, Mejar Mazlina Mazlan @ Ramly, who is the 90th prosecution witness (SP90).
