Prosecution challenges Zizie Izette's acquittal in RM2.8mil bribery case

The prosecution has filed a notice of appeal against the acquittal of Datin Seri Zizie Izette A. Samad on three charges of abetting her late husband, Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, in a RM2.8 million bribery case. The charges allege that Zizie Izette abetted Bung Moktar in obtaining bribes linked to Felcra Bhd's RM150 million unit trust investment.

The notice of appeal was filed at the High Court on July 31, 2021. Zizie Izette was acquitted and discharged by Sessions Court judge Rosli Ahmad, who ruled that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecution is dissatisfied with this decision and has appealed the acquittal.
