Lead counsel Hisyam Teh a lawyer for Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told the High Court today the former deputy prime minister ought to be immune from prosecution, on grounds that he truthfully disclosed all the transactions related to his family-run Yayasan Akalbudi.
“We submit that he is immune from prosecution for charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT), corruption and money laundering charges in respect of all information he had disclosed to MACC three years ago,” Hisyam told judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah.
