Muhyiddin’s acquittal overturned


PUTRAJAYA: It’s back to trial for former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. The Court of Appeal has overturned his acquittal over using his position for bribes amounting to RM232.5mil for Bersatu and ordered that the charges be reinstated.

A panel of three judges chaired by Justice Hadhariah Syed Ismail made the unanimous decision after allowing the prosecution’s appeal to set aside the High Court’s decision to acquit the Bersatu president of the four charges on Aug 15 last year.
