KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The corruption and money laundering trial of Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim and his brother Datuk Abdul Latif, scheduled to begin on March 16 in the Sessions Court here was postponed to April 16, owing to the former's defence counsel going on sick leave.
Lawyer Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, who is representing Abdul Azeez, the Baling MP, informed Justice Azura Alwi on Wednesday that he would be on sick leave from March 11 to April 10, and as such requested that the original trial dates be vacated.
Abdul Azeez, 53, faces three charges of receiving bribes totalling RM5.2mil in connection with road projects in Perak and Kedah, as well as nine charges of money laundering almost RM140mil. His brother Abdul Latif, 62, who is represented by lawyer Fudhail Zulaini, is accused of abetting Abdul Azeez in connection with the acts of bribery.
