MACC officer apologises to Muhyiddin’s lawyer over police report
The report, lodged against lawyer Amer Hamzah Arshad, will be retracted today.
A prosecution witness in Muhyiddin Yassin's corruption trial has apologized to Muhyiddin's lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad, for filing a police report against him. The report was filed after Amer presented a transcript of a recorded conversation claiming it was classified. Mazery Zaini, the MACC officer who filed the report, stated that he asked another officer to lodge it due to concerns of a possible leak by MACC officers.
Mazery claimed he had no intention of tarnishing the defence team's image, but Amer accused the report of attempting to tarnish his reputation and intimidate him. The defence obtained the document from Adam Radlan's legal team and would not have used improper channels to acquire it. The police report will be retracted after the court hears explanations from both parties, and the prosecution will continue to re-examine Mazery.
