A Malaysian court has dismissed 47 corruption charges against Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi at an advanced stage of his trial.
court on Monday dismissed 47 corruption charges against Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi at an advanced stage of his trial.
Zahid heads the United Malays National Organization, and his support has been pivotal in helping Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim form a unity government. Zahid’s dismissal could further hurt the anti-corruption stance of Anwar’s government. Opposition leaders have alleged Zahid had supported Anwar so the charges against him could be dropped.
His lawyer Hisyam Teh Poh Teik said prosecutors sought to drop the proceedings partly because further investigation was needed. He said the defense will apply for a full acquittal. The dismissal came despite the court's ruling in January 2022 that prosecutors' had proven a case against Zahid and ordered him to enter his defense.
