Prosecution appeals Zizie Izette’s acquittal in RM2.8m corruption case tied to Felcra unit trust

The prosecution has appealed against the decision of the Sessions Court to acquit and discharge actress Zizie Izette Abdul Samad in a RM2.8 million corruption case from 2015. The charges were brought against Zizie Izette and her husband, Bung Moktar, who was former Kinabatangan MP, for allegedly abetting each other in accepting cash bribes of RM2.8 million from Public Mutual Berhad.

The prosecution expressed their dissatisfaction with the court's July 20 decision to acquit Zizie Izette after finding reasonable doubt in her case. The prosecution has also requested a copy of the notes of evidence and the grounds of judgment related to the case.
