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 would have to defend himself against allegations of graft in the Foreign Visa System (VLN) case.

High Court judge Justice Mohd Yazid Mustafa, who set the date to deliver his decision based on whether the prosecution had successfully proven a prima facie case against the accused, also directed both the prosecution and defence teams to file notes of their submissions by Sept 13.
