The judge will first hear Ahmad Zahid’s application to challenge the constitutionality of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001, under which the charges against him were framed.
For the CBT charges, Ahmad Zahid is alleged to have used the funds to make six payments for personal credit cards, an insurance policy and a licence for his personal vehicles, remittances to a law firm and contributions to the Royal Malaysia Police football association. Ahmad Zahid was also charged with eight counts of bribery, in which he is alleged to have accepted bribes from three companies: Mastoro Kenny IT Consultant & Services; Data Sonic Group Bhd; and Profound Radiance Sdn Bhd as an inducement for him, in his capacity as then Home Minister, to help the companies obtain MyEG projects, supply passport chips, and to be appointed operator of migrant visa one-stop centres in Pakistan and Nepal.
The Bagan Datuk Member of Parliament also faces 27 charges of money-laundering after allegedly engaging in direct transactions involving income from illegal activities between March 29, 2016, and April 11, 2018.
