: The High Court here today set July 24 to decide on the prosecution’s application to forfeit RM100,000 seized from former Land and Cooperative Development Minister Tan Sri Kasitah Gaddam, allegedly linked to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal.
Earlier, deputy public prosecutor from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Nik Haslinie Hashim said although the money had been spent by the respondent, the court still has the power to issue an order under Section 59 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2001 for him to repay the amount. Lawyer Sasila Basri representing Kasitah, however, said that although his client had admitted receiving the money from Najib in 2012, it was meant for the GE13, which was held on May 5, 2013.
“The money of RM100,000 was received in 2012, seized by the MACC in 2018 ... but my client also received pension money of more than RM100,000 a year. The seized money was actually his money,” he said.
