Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s Yayasan Akalbudi case, for which he was previously granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA), has been classified as requiring no further action (NFA).
The DNAA granted to Zahid over his 47 charges of corruption, money laundering and criminal breach of trust was to allow the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to conduct further investigations.
Today, the Attorney-General’s Chambers said it found insufficient evidence to support proceeding with the charges after MACC’s probe.
“Therefore, the AGC decided that no further action will be taken in this case,” it said in a statement.
“With that, this case is closed, in line with the powers and discretion of the attorney-general under the Federal Constitution and relevant laws.
“The AGC stresses that the decision was based on professional and legal considerations, taking into account the importance of justice, prosecutorial integrity, and the need to ensure certainty and transparency in the criminal justice system.”
