Pegawai SPRM nafi ahli perniagaan diberi imuniti untuk keterangan

In a recent hearing before the High Court, a SPRM investigator denied allegations that businessman Azman Yusoff received special treatment or legal immunity for testifying against former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. Mazery Zaini, a deputy advisor to SPRM, rejected claims by Muhyiddin's lawyer, Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, that Azman was offered special services or legal protection in exchange for his testimony against Muhyiddin.

Hisyam suggested that Azman, the managing director of KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd, was acquitted of charges related to the Jana Wibawa program in exchange for providing testimony against Muhyiddin. However, Mazery insisted that SPRM had previously investigated Azman and former Bersatu Segambut deputy chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad in connection with a separate bribery case involving businessman Lian Tian Chuan, but Adam was the only one charged in court.

When asked if he agreed that Azman received special services from SPRM, Mazery denied it. Hisyam proposed that Azman received special treatment due to an agreement between SPRM and Azman to testify and receive immunity. Mazery rejected this idea as well. Earlier, Mazery testified that Azman acted on Muhyiddin's request. In August 2025, the Sessions Court acquitted Adam of all 12 bribery charges after he paid a RM4.1 million fine, following representations and an offer of a settlement under Section 92(1) of the Anti-Bribery Act 2001 (Amla).

When questioned by another lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad, Mazery also denied that Azman was pressured to privately discuss Jana Wibawa with Muhyiddin due to financial pressure. Amer argued that the investigation of Azman's company suffered after SPRM froze his bank accounts and those of his companies. Mazery agreed with this assessment.

Amer also suggested that Azman fabricated a narrative about private discussions with Muhyiddin due to financial pressure. Mazery denied this claim. Former Prime Minister Muhyiddin faces four charges of misusing his position to demand a RM225.3 million bribe from Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd, Nepturis Sdn Bhd, Mamfor Sdn Bhd, Azman, and KCJ Engineering between January 1, 2020, and July 8, 2022.

He also faces three charges of money laundering involving RM200 million allegedly received from Bukhary Equity, which was inserted into Bersatu's accounts at AmBank and CIMB Bank. Muhyiddin is accused of committing all these acts between January 1, 2020, and July 8, 2022. The trial continues the next day.
