KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court here acquitted and discharged a businessman for dishonest misappropriation of RM10,000 belonging to an oil and gas company by allegedly using the funds for his personal use.

Judge Datin Sabariah Othman ordered Mohamed Noor Mohamed Amin, 50, to be freed on Wednesday (Aug 2) after finding that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case.

"After hearing the testimony of the prosecution witnesses and the documents presented, the court found that the prosecution failed to establish strong evidence to prove that the RM10,000 belonged to the company, FMG Synergy Sdn Bhd.
