PUTRAJAYA, May 12 — The Court of Appeal has fixed July 28 for another case management for the prosecution’s appeal against Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s acquittal of 40 charges of corruption in connection with the foreign visa system.

Ahmad Zahid’s lawyer Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, when contacted by Bernama, confirmed a further case management date was fixed following a request by the prosecution for another date for the Attorney-General’s Chambers to consider Ahmad Zahid’s representation for the prosecution to discontinue its appeal. The Umno president pleaded not guilty to 33 counts of receiving bribes amounting to S$13.56 million from Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd for himself as home minister to extend the contract of the company as the operator of a one-stop centre service in China and the VLN system, as well as to maintain its contract with the home ministry to supply the VLN integrated system.

He also claimed trial to 33 alternative charges under Section 165 of the Penal Code, where he was charged in his capacity as a home minister with receiving bribes amounting to S$13.56 million in relation to the VLN system between 2014 and 2017.
