Prosecution drops four charges against Muhyiddin, presses on with three in corruption trial

On September 15, the Kuala Lumpur High Court acquitted former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin of four charges linked to Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd's funds, following the prosecution's decision to not pursue these charges at present.

Originally facing seven charges, including allegations of power abuse and money laundering, Muhyiddin now confronts three power abuse charges involving RM25.3 million.

High Court judge Noor Ruwena Md Nurdin ruled for acquittal, considering the interests of justice, after the prosecution requested a discharge not amounting to acquittal (DNAA) for four charges.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 15 — The High Court today acquitted former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin of four charges involving Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd's funds, as the prosecution today said it does not want to proceed with trial on those charges for now.

In this trial, Muhyiddin faced seven charges:

four counts of alleged power abuse to obtain RM225.3 million in bribes for his party, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (from Nepturis Sdn Bhd, Datuk Seri Azman Yusoff, KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd, Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd and Mamfor Sdn Bhd), and

three counts of alleged money laundering involving money that Bersatu received from Bukhary Equity.

Following the High Court's decision after the prosecution's request for a discharge not amounting to acquittal (DNAA), Muhyiddin now only faces three power abuse charges involving RM25.3 million in alleged bribes for his party Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia.

High Court judge Noor Ruwena Md Nurdin delivered her decision this afternoon on whether to only grant a DNAA or to acquit Muhyiddin on those four charges.

Ultimately, the judge decided to acquit, in the interests of justice.

Just before lunch break today, deputy public prosecutor Datuk Ahmad Akram Gharib informed the High Court that the prosecution had decided to not continue with four of the seven charges in Muhyiddin's trial, saying this was after the prosecution had looked at the case as a whole.

"With that, the prosecution respectfully applies for Section 254(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code to be applied, to apply for an order from this court for a DNAA on the accused. We apply for DNAA only on those charges," he said.

Muhyiddin's lawyers had however urged the High Court to acquit Muhyiddin on the four charges related to Bukhary Equity, instead of only granting a DNAA.

9 月 15 日，吉隆坡高等法院宣布前首相丹斯里慕尤丁·亚辛与 Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd 基金相关的四项指控不成立，此前检方决定暂时不追究这些指控。

穆希丁最初面临七项指控，包括滥用职权和洗钱指控，现在面临三项涉及 2530 万令吉的滥用职权指控。

高等法院法官努尔·鲁韦纳·穆罕默德·努尔丁考虑到司法公正的利益，在控方要求对四项指控作出不构成无罪释放（DNAA）的裁决后，裁定被告无罪。

吉隆坡，9月15日讯——高等法院今日宣判前首相丹斯里慕尤丁·亚辛四项与布哈里股权有限公司资金有关的指控不成立，控方今日表示，目前不愿就这些指控继续进行审判。

在这场审判中，穆希丁面临七项指控：

四项涉嫌滥用职权为其政党马来西亚土团党（来自Nepturis Sdn Bhd、拿督斯里阿兹曼尤索夫、KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd、Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd 及 Mamfor Sdn Bhd）收取2亿2530万令吉贿赂的罪名，以及

三项涉嫌洗钱的指控，涉及土著团结党从布哈里股权公司收到的资金。

在高等法院对检方提出的不构成无罪释放 (DNAA) 的请求作出裁决后，穆希丁现在只面临三项滥用职权的指控，涉及其所属政党土著团结党涉嫌收受 2530 万令吉的贿赂。

今天下午，高等法院法官努尔·鲁韦纳·穆罕默德·努尔丁就穆希丁是否仅被免除上诉义务或宣告无罪释放这四项指控作出了裁决。

最终，法官出于维护正义的考虑，决定宣告被告无罪。

今天午休前，副检察官拿督艾哈迈德·阿克拉姆·加里布向高等法院通报，检方已决定不再继续对穆希丁的七项指控中的四项提起诉讼，称这是检方对整个案件进行全面审查后做出的决定。

“因此，控方谨此申请适用《刑事诉讼法》第254(1)条，向本院申请对被告人进行无罪释放。我们仅就这些指控申请无罪释放，”他说道。

然而，穆希丁的律师敦促高等法院对穆希丁与布哈里股权公司相关的四项指控予以无罪释放，而不是仅仅给予撤销指控。
