Prosecution appeals acquittal granted to Bung’s widow
The notice of appeal was filed on July 31 while case management is fixed for tomorrow.
The prosecution has announced it will appeal a recent acquittal of Zizie Izette Abdul Samad, the widow of deceased Malaysian politician Bung Moktar Radin, in connection with a bribery case. The session court granted Zizie's acquittal on July 20, 2023, after a judge ruled that the defense had successfully presented a reasonable doubt regarding the prosecution's allegations.
The charges against Zizie stemmed from a case alleging that Bung, who was the non-executive chairman of Felcra Bhd at the time, received RM2.8 million in bribes for facilitating Felcra's approval to invest RM150 million in Public Mutual unit trusts. The prosecution had filed notice of appeal with the High Court on July 31, 2023, and the case is set to be managed for a hearing that day.
