PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has upheld the acquittal of former Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) executive director Datuk Seri Syed Afendy Ali Syed Abid Ali on eight counts of abuse of power in the acquisition of eight condominium units worth almost RM2 million nine years ago.

In an unanimous decision on Thursday , a three-member bench led by Datuk Seri Kamaludin Md Said dismissed the prosecution's appeal to set aside the Kuala Lumpur High Court's decision, which had acquitted and released Syed Afendy Ali, 60 of the charges.

"Therefore, the appeal by the prosecution is dismissed and the High Court's decision is upheld,” said Kamaludin, who sat with Datuk Lee Heng Cheong and Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim. Judge Sequerah ruled that the prosecution had failed to prove the elements of an offence under Section 165 of the Penal Code; that the appellant had obtained for the people mentioned in the charges a valuable thing which was the interest of immovable properties mentioned in all the charges.
