The JC also said that on the balance of probabilities, the applicant had not succeeded in proving the requirements under Section 56 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act to have the sum of RM188,138.26 in SUPP's accounts forfeited.Deputy public prosecutor from the MACC Abdul Rashid Sulaiman said the prosecution would file a notice of appeal against the decision to the Court of Appeal.
