Azeez sendiri mahu berbaju lokap, bergari ke mahkamah, kata SPRM
SPRM berkata Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim sudah dinasihat menukar pakaian dan membuka gari tetapi berkeras mahu kekal dalam keadaan itu sehingga proses pertuduhan selesai.
Former head of the Haj Foundation, Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, appeared in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court today wearing a purple suit and refusing to remove his handcuffs, according to the Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM). The independent body stated that Azeez had sought advice from SPRM officials, police escorts, and his lawyers to wear the unusual attire and not to remove the handcuffs until his case was closed.
However, SPRM emphasized that the choice of clothing was not by their directive or request. The agency also requested all parties not to speculate or spread inaccurate information regarding the incident. Azeez, 60, previously admitted in the Sessions Court that he was not guilty of the charges of misusing his position to gain a position as a chairman and benefits in a company.
The charges were made under Section 23(1) of the SPRM Act 2009 and could result in imprisonment for up to 20 years and a fine of RM10,000 or double the value of the benefit, whichever is higher. If found guilty, Azeez was required to post a RM450,000 bail with two sureties and report to the SPRM every three months.
