Ahmad Zahid denies committing CBT, says YAB funds transferred to legal firm as officer found negligent

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi denied committing criminal breach of trust involving RM17,953,185.21 of Yayasan Akalbudi (YAB) funds on Tuesday (May 24) and instead claimed that he transferred the money to a legal firm because his former executive secretary was prone to making mistakes in handling money.

This amount of the funds involved the sixth of 12 charges of criminal breach of trust the former deputy prime minister is facing.
