Former UiTM Holdings Sdn Bhd CEO Azlizan Fadzil appeared at Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur today, charged with criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving RM37.37 million allocated for a solar power project in Gambang, Pahang. The 53-year-old pleaded not guilty to the charge, read out before Sessions Court judge Datuk Mohd Nasir Nordin.

Azlizan was entrusted with the sum to invest in a 50-megawatt solar photovoltaic power generation project, but prosecutors allege he dishonestly misappropriated the funds by making payments for unrelated purposes between February 2 and October 2, 2017, at Affin Bank Berhad's UiTM Shah Alam branch. If convicted, he faces imprisonment for 2 to 20 years, whipping, and a fine, under Section 409 of the Penal Code.
