UKSB graft trial: Judge sets Sept 23 to decide if Zahid needs to enter defence

SHAH ALAM: Former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi will know on Sept 23 if he can walk away a free man or if he must defend himself against charges of graft in the Foreign Visa System (VLN) case.

High Court judge Datuk Mohd Yazid Mustafa, who set the date to deliver his decision based on whether or not the prosecution had successfully framed a prima facie case against the accused, also directed both the prosecution and defence teams to file notes of their oral submissions by Sept 13.
