A Malaysian court acquits Zizie Izette Abdul Samad of three abetment charges in a RM2.8 million corruption case linked to RM150 million investments
KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court here today acquitted and discharged Datin Seri Zizie Izette Abdul Samad of all three charges of abetting in a corruption case involving RM2.8 million, linked to a RM150 million investment in Public Mutual Berhad unit trusts, dating back 11 years.
Judge Rosli Ahmad delivered the ruling after finding that the defence had successfully raised reasonable doubts at the end of the defence’s case.
Having considered the entirety of the evidence, this court finds that the accused has successfully raised a reasonable doubt in this case, while the prosecution has failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
“Accordingly, this court orders that the accused be acquitted and discharged of all three charges,” he said.
Zizie Izette, 47, the wife of the late former Kinabatangan Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, appeared visibly moved upon hearing the court’s decision.
