Decision to charge based on evidence and facts, no selective prosecution, says AG’s Chambers

PETALING JAYA: The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) has reiterated that any decision to charge a person is based on evidence and facts.

"Following the allegations of selective prosecution, politically motivated prosecution and persecution in the prosecution of recent cases, the AGC reiterates that the decision to charge any person is based on the evidence and facts resulting from the investigation, and not at the insistence of any party or other factors," it said in a statement on Friday .

"The decision is made fairly based on the evidence in the investigation paper and not in favour of anyone based on the core of integrity to ensure that the victims, witnesses, the accused and the public obtain appropriate justice in accordance with the jurisdiction of the Attorney General provided under Article 145 of the Federal Constitution," it added.

"If there is a statement and strong evidence that an individual has committed an offence under any provision of the law, the individual will be prosecuted based on the provision of the law regardless of status and background."
