Bersatu wants freeze on accounts lifted after Muhyiddin’s acquittal
Information chief Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz says there is now a need to reassess the legal and factual basis for continuing to freeze the party’s accounts.
Bersatu's chief information officer, Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz, has called for a review of the freeze on the party's accounts after Muhyiddin Yassin's acquittal on charges related to Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd. In a statement, Tun Faisal questioned the legal and factual basis for continuing to restrict the party's accounts, especially since Bersatu itself has not been charged with any offence.
The High Court's decision to acquit Muhyiddin of four charges linked to the Bukhary Equity funds has led to the discharge of the RM200 million freeze, prompting the inquiry into the continued restrictions on Bersatu's financial assets.
