Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s office says the court decision was based on an arrangement struck between Riza Aziz and the prosecution.
In a statement, the Prime Minister’s Office said the decision made on the discharge not amounting to acquittal was a result of an agreement struck between the prosecution and the accused through representation submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers . Riza, who had been charged with five counts of money laundering amounting to US$248 million , was granted a DNAA by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court last week.
Under the arrangement, Putrajaya is expected to recover US$107.3 million in assets from the Hollywood producer.
