High Court rejects bid to forfeit over RM21mil from Aman Palestin
The court rules that liability for the funds falls on those involved, and not the company.
In a recent development, the Shah Alam High Court in Malaysia has rejected a request from the prosecution to forfeit RM21.1 million and US$139,650, along with a 1kg gold bar, from the NGO Aman Palestin Bhd. Justice Latifah Tahar ruled that the funds, distributed across 12 bank accounts, were sourced from donations made through various channels, including online transactions and cash donations.
Over RM123.9 million was received by the organization between 2018 and 2023, with donors voluntarily channeling their contributions, granting the NGO complete control over the funds. The prosecution had accused the NGO of misappropriating the funds, transferring over RM64 million for investments, property purchases, and gold. However, the court dismissed these allegations, stating that the burden of proof was not met by the prosecution. The case management was fixed for September 4, 2024.
