Kuala Lumpur: The sessions court here freed two Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officers and a former officer on charges of robbing a Chinese businessman four years ago.
Judge Izralizam Sanusi held that the prosecution failed to prove the charges against officers Haffiz Radzi and Fahmee Nor as well as former officer Azwan Asli.
The three were accused of committing a gang robbery on Kun Gao on Dec 10, 2021 of RM952,690 and 1,225 yuan in cash, as well as a luggage bag and a Louis Vuitton bag at the businessman’s home in Jalan Ampang.
The court said that the trio did not intimidate the victim as they were there to investigate the Chinese national for money laundering.
“The victim told the court he was not afraid (of the three men) as he had not committed any wrongdoing.
“There was also no evidence that the victim was threatened with any guns by the three men, although he claimed that one of them carried a gun in his backpack,” Izralizam said, adding that the existence of the alleged gun was not proven.
Deputy public prosecutor Nor Aisyah Zanyuin appeared for the prosecution while lawyer Dzulkifli Ahmad represented the three men. Lawyer Phyllia Lim held a watching brief for the Chinese man.
Dzulkifli later told reporters that they were grateful for the court’s decision.
