The Johor Bahru Sessions Court today rejected an application by the MACC to forfeit assets worth millions of ringgit belonging to former state exco Abdul Latiff Bandi, his son and daughter-in-law.The court also ordered the seized assets to be returned to Latiff, his son Fauzan Hatim and his daughter-in-law Nur Shaliza Mohamad Salleh.
Deputy public prosecutor Mahadi Abdul Jumaat applied for a stay of execution of the order, pending an MACC appeal under Section 311 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which the judge granted. Nevertheless, the court allowed the respondents to apply to MACC for use of their seized vehicles, under bond, while waiting for disposal of the appeal.In January 2017, MACC seized six vehicles from the respondents – a Honda CRV, Toyota Land Cruiser, Honda HRV, Nissan Skyline, Porsche Cayenne and Toyota Vellfire, and 16 luxury watches and foreign currency.
Where did he get the money to purchase those luxuries?
Something is not right about this case. How come MACC is using Section 311 of the Penal Code? Why didn't MACC use the MACC Act of 2009? The AGC must look into this case.
High court next !
Judiciary independence is still questionable.
