Trial will proceed against a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officer and a businessman, known as ‘Datuk Roy’, as they failed to get the Attorney-General Chambers to review their charges of soliciting and receiving bribes amounting to RM640,000 as an inducement to ensure former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s son was not remanded by the graft-busting body.
They were jointly charged with corruptly asking bribes amounting to RM400,000 from Siti Dalena Berhan, 47, as an inducement not to remand Datuk Fakhri Yassin Mahiaddin during MACC’s investigation. The two accused are also charged with accepting bribes amounting to RM240,000 from Syed Farid Syed Al Attas, 41, as an inducement for MACC not to remand the same person during the investigation.
