KUALA LUMPUR, April 21 — Judge Datuk Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali — who heard and convicted former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak over the misappropriation of RM42 million of SRC International Sdn Bhd’s funds — has lodged a police report over false allegations made against him, the judiciary confirmed today.
The judiciary said the judge — who was formerly a High Court judge and was elevated to be a Court of Appeal judge — had said the article had malicious intent and claims that had no basis. “This police report was also made so that investigations can be carried out under Section 500 of the Penal Code, Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and other related legal provisions,” it said in a statement today.
Section 233 covers the offence of improper use of network facilities or network services including the creating or initiating of the transmission of any comment which is obscene, indecent, false, menacing or offensive with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass another person. This offence is punishable with a maximum RM50,000 fine or a maximum one-year jail term or both if convicted and a further fine of RM1,000 per day for each day the offence is continued after conviction.
