KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution in the case of Tan Shahrir Ab Samad, who is charged with failing to declare RM1mil which he received from Datuk Seri Najib Razak to the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN), says it will prove that the former Felda chairman was directly involved in money laundering activities when he obtained the money from the former prime minister.

Deputy public prosecutor Mohd ‘Afif Ali said there was oral testimony from prosecution witnesses to prove that the accused (Shahrir) obtained the money which was deposited into his Public Islamic bank account through a cheque dated Nov 27, 2013.
