On August 20, a witness testified in the Sessions Court that Sayed Amir Muzzakkir Al Sayed Mohamad, once political secretary to a former Home Minister, had requested a portion of the RM19 million consultancy fee he received from a PDRM project for political purposes. The witness, Datuk Seri Mohd Khairi Mat Jahya, the managing director of Al Khairi Group Berhad, was the 15th prosecution witness in the trial of Sayed Amir Muzzakkir, who is facing three corruption charges totaling RM350,000.
Mohd Khairi stated that Sayed had asked him for a "portion" if possible, for political ends, during a meeting. However, Mohd Khairi never agreed to give Sayed anything he asked for since they had no project details, documents, or background at that time. The witness added that when Wan Azhar requested a dummy invoice for RM350,000, Mohd Khairi prepared it to make the payment look legal, despite not knowing the purpose for the request.
On May 23, 2024, Sayed Amir Muzzakkir was charged with two counts of accepting RM350,000 in bribes from Wan Azhar Mohamed Yusof for helping Nexuscorpgroup secure a PDRM tender for RM381,112,042.44.
