In the notice filed two days ago at the Sessions Court, he is seeking to be discharged but not amounting to an acquittal on all the charges. The businessman is also seeking the respondent to submit to him a written statement of facts that is in favour of the defence as provided under Section 51A of the CPC within seven days from the date of the court order.
He was also charged with three counts of accepting RM15 million in bribes from the same individual as an inducement for Hamzah to do similar things.
