PETALING JAYA: Law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said says Segambut Bersatu deputy chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad was freed by the court after the prosecution exercised its discretion to withdraw corruption and money laundering charges against him following his payment of a compound.
Azalina said Adam Radlan had faced 12 charges – five for corruption under Section 16(a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009 and seven for money laundering under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (Amla).
She said during a case mention on Aug 20, the deputy public prosecutor from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) informed the sessions court in Kuala Lumpur that Adam Radlan had been offered a compound under Section 92(1) of Amla and had paid RM4.1 million on Aug 18.
