Ex-cycling club head cleared of CBT charge

KOTA BARU: The Sessions Court acquitted and discharged a former Darul Naim Cycling Club president of criminal breach of trust (CBT) charges and misappropriation of the club’s funds amounting to RM80,000.

Judge Zaman Mohd Noor ordered Mohammad Yusri Ismail, 48, to be freed at the end of the prosecution’s case after finding that it had failed to prove a prima facie case.

“The prosecution could not prove that the accused was the legitimate president of the club. (Therefore) the accused is acquitted and discharged on both charges without having to enter his defence,” the judge remarked.

Mohammad Yusri was charged with committing CBT by using the RM80,000 for his personal use. — Bernama
