Former CM already cleared by MACC and Hong Kong's ICAC but the case reopened on the heels of his legal challenge for CM's post. FMTNews MusaAman ICAC

Musa Aman was freed of all 46 charges, which he says were part of a ‘political persecution’ to stop him from returning as chief minister.

“ICAC’s investigations showed that our client was not involved in any corrupt practices. And until today, there were no further investigations against him by the Hong Kong authorities,” Amer said in a statement. “Doesn’t this give an indication that the charges against Musa Aman were mala fide and a political persecution?” he asked.

“All the relevant documents have been provided to the MACC. At all times, these political donations did not involve any project for Sabah, timber concessions and were not on a quid pro quo basis,” he said. He said in 2011, Gani, then deputy solicitor-general II Tun Abdul Majid Hamzah, then MACC chief Abu Kassim Mohammad as well as its then head of investigations Mustafar Ali had decided not to charge Musa.

“It will be a dark day if a Public Prosecutor’s words have no finality and may be ‘broken’ without any compunction,” said Amer, quoting a judgment from a 2009 case.

Yesterday he was an accused. Now he’s a victim. Tomorrow he will be a motherfocking saint, or even better, a prophet.
