KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court here has granted the prosecution’s application for a stay of proceedings in the money laundering case of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, pending an appeal in the Court of Appeal over the striking out of the abuse of power charges against the former prime minister.

The prosecution is appealing the decision of the High Court here, which acquitted Muhyiddin of four charges of using his position for bribes amounting to RM232.5mil for Bersatu related to the same project.
