PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has succeeded in its appeal to forfeit cash amounting to RM540,000 and eight gold pieces belonging to former Rural and Regional Development Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohd Arif Ab Rahman.

This followed the decision by a three-panel Court of Appeal judges - comprising Justices Hanipah Farikullah, Datuk Abu Bakar Jais and Datuk Nordin Hasan - who unanimously allowed the MACC's appeal to set aside a High Court decision.

Justice Nordin, when delivering the unanimous decision, said the court found that the money and eight gold pieces worth RM1.4mil were related to offences under the MACC Act. The assets that were seized by MACC in 2017 comprised cash of RM544,627, foreign currencies, eight gold pieces weighing 8,000g, 11 branded watches, a necklace, a pearl bracelet, a handphone and a branded handbag.

The MACC then filed an appeal in the Court of Appeal, while Mohd Arif appealed against the High Court's decision on the burden of proof for forfeiture of property cases under section 41 of the MACC Act 2009.
