PUTRAJAYA: Former Federal Territories minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has walked out a free man after the Court of Appeal here acquitted and discharged him from his RM2mil corruption case, although the prosecution intends to file an appeal.
His conviction and sentence – he was handed 12 months’ jail and a RM2mil fine – were set aside by the appellate court in a 2-1 majority decision here yesterday.
Deputy public prosecutor Asmah Musa told reporters that the prosecution would be filing an appeal with the Federal Court.
