Court allows review bid, ex-senior cop freed of RM3.35mil money laundering charges


PUTRAJAYA: A former senior police officer is a free man after the Court of Appeal here acquitted and discharged him from eight charges of money laundering involving a total sum of RM3.35mil.

A three-member panel of judges chaired by Datuk Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera made the decision after allowing 60-year-old deputy superintendent Mohd Ismail Syed Merah's application to review another Court of Appeal's verdict in March last year which sentenced him to 10 years in jail and fined RM42mil for all charges.
