Lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah walked free from four criminal charges linked to RM9.5 million from former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court this morning ruled that the prosecution has failed to establish a prima facie case against the veteran legal practitioner.
Today was set for a decision at the end of the prosecution’s case involving the alleged laundering of the funds.
During the open-court proceedings, trial judge Muhammad Jamil Hussin said the prosecution failed to prove that the two cheques - one worth RM4.3 million and the other RM5.2 million - were the proceeds from unlawful activities.
