KUALA LUMPUR: Two Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers and a former employee have been charged in two separate Sessions Courts here with robbing a Chinese national of various items, including a Louis Vuitton (LV) bag and cash totalling RM952,690.
Muhamad Haffiz Mohd Radzi, 33, and Mohd Fahmee Mohamad Nor, 41, pleaded not guilty after the charges were read out to them before Judge Izralizam Sanusi, while Azwan Asli, 38, entered the same plea before Judge Siti Aminah Ghazali.
The three were accused of committing gang robbery against businessman Kun Gao.
The offence, allegedly committed at a residence in Jalan Ampang on Dec 10, 2021, at noon, was framed under Section 395 of the Penal Code, which provides for a maximum penalty of 20 years’ imprisonment and whipping, if convicted.
During the proceedings before Judge Izralizam yesterday, deputy public prosecutor Izralina Abdullah requested bail be set at RM30,000 for each of the accused, should the court allow bail, Bernama reported.
Judge Izralizam later approved bail of RM12,000 with a surety each for Muhamad Haffiz and Mohd Fahmee, with the additional conditions that the two report to a police station monthly, refrain from harassing the witnesses and surrender their passports to the court until the case is concluded.
Meanwhile, during the proceedings before Judge Siti Aminah, Izralina requested bail of RM30,000 with a surety for Azwan, as well as requiring him to report to a police station monthly.
Judge Siti Aminah approved bail of RM10,000 with a surety for Azwan, along with the condition that he must report to a nearby police station once a month.
Both courts also set Feb 5, 2024, for next mention.
