The trial of prominent lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah , who is facing two counts of money laundering charges involving RM9.

5 million he allegedly received from former prime minister Najib Tun Razak, and two charges of making false statements to the Inland Revenue Board , has been moved to March next year.

Farhan informed the court that the SRC trial, in which Muhammad Shafee is defence lead counsel, will continue on July 1 and the dates fixed for July clashed with Muhammad Shafee’s own trial dates. On Sept 13 last year, Muhammad Shafee, 66, pleaded not guilty to receiving proceeds from unlawful activity via cheques issued by Najib, which were remitted into Shafee’s CIMB Bank Berhad account.

Muhammad Shafee is also facing two charges of being involved in transactions of proceeds from unlawful activity, that is by making inaccurate statements and in contravention of paragraph 113 of the Income Tax Act 1967 for financial years ending Dec 31, 2013 and Dec 31, 2014.
