Mahkamah tolak permohonan Tei pindah kes rasuah
Isu dibangkitkan ahli perniagaan itu bukan sesuatu yang kompleks, maka boleh ditangani di Mahkamah Sesyen, putus hakim Mahkamah Tinggi.
The High Court has rejected a plea by businessman Albert Tei to move his five criminal charges from the Magistrates' Court to the Federal Court. Justice Noor Ruwena Md Nurdin dismissed Tei's application, arguing that the matter is not complex and can be handled in the Magistrates' Court. Tei, 37, was charged with five counts of bribery for allegedly providing RM140,000 in cash and RM14,580.03 worth of electrical equipment, among other items, to former Deputy Prime Minister Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin to help his company secure a mineral exploration license in Sabah.
The offenses were allegedly committed at various locations between November 2023 and March 2024. Tei was also charged with providing RM64,924 to Shamsul Iskandar at a bank in Country Heights, Kajang between November 2023 and September 2024. All charges under Section 17(b) of the Prevention of Corruption Act 2009 carry a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment and a fine of up to five times the amount of the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is greater.
