KUALA LUMPUR – Former PAS deputy president Datuk Nasharudin Mat Isa has been granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) for 16 counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT) amounting to RM321,273.80.
Malaysiakini quoted his lawyer Mohd Shukri Ahmad Mansor as saying that judge Rozilah Salleh at the Shah Alam Sessions Court granted the DNAA during open court proceedings on September 22 as an outcome of the Attorney-General’s Chambers’ acceptance of a letter of representation sent by the defence.
It was also reported that the money was allegedly linked to his salary as the Nassar Foundation chairman between 2015 and 2018.
“The letter of representation was partly accepted, whereby all 16 CBT charges (in relation to Nasharudin’s salary) were sought to be withdrawn by the prosecution.
“The judge then on September 22 granted a DNAA on the 16 charges. However, the remaining (17) charges (of CBT and money laundering) still stand,” Shukri was quoted as saying.
However, Nasharudin is still facing 14 counts of CBT and three counts of money laundering amounting to more than RM3.65 million.
Mention of Nasharudin’s case is set on November 20. – The Vibes, November 5, 2020
