Apex court has no jurisdiction to hear Muhyiddin's appeal, says DPP

KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin cannot appeal to the Federal Court against the decision by the Court of Appeal that overturned his acquittal in his RM232.5mil graft case, says a prosecutor.

This is because the former prime minister's case began at the lower court level, so the highest appeal avenue would be the Court of Appeal as per Section 87 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964, DPP Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin told the Sessions Court here.
