PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has fixed May 12 for further case management of the prosecution's appeal against Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's acquittal of 40 corruption charges in connection with the foreign visa (VLN) system.
A case management of the appeal was conducted today before Court of Appeal deputy registrar Dr Syahliza Warnoh.
The prosecution filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeal on Sept 26 last year against the Shah Alam High Court's decision to acquit and discharge Ahmad Zahid, who is now deputy prime minister, of all the charges after ruling that the prosecution had not made out a prima facie case against him.
According to the charge sheet, Ahmad Zahid was alleged to have committed those offences at Seri Satria, Precinct 16, Putrajaya and Country Heights, Kajang, between October 2014 and March 2018. For the other seven charges, he was alleged to have obtained for himself cash of S$1,150,000, RM3mil, 15,000 Swiss francs and US$15,000 from the same company, which he knew had a connection with his official functions.
