00:00An anti-corruption group has urged the Attorney General's chambers to explain why

00:04Bersatu leader Adam Radlan Adam Mohamad was acquitted of his five corruption charges

00:09after paying a money laundering compound. The Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism

00:14said there was a discrepancy in the decision as not all offenses were compoundable under

00:19the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.

00:25C4 said that section 92 sub 1 of AMLA allows compounding under the Act but there is no

00:31equivalent provision under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009. It questioned

00:37how the prosecution used section 92 of AMLA to justify withdrawing five charges under section 16

00:42of the MACC Act. The NGO said this raised concerns about the integrity of the criminal justice system

00:48and urged the AGC to provide clarity and prosecutorial guidelines.

00:53On Wednesday, Adam Radlan was acquitted of all 12 corruption and money laundering charges

00:58after paying a compound of 4.1 million ringgit as part of his representations accepted by the

01:02prosecution. He had been charged with five counts of soliciting and accepting up to 9.9 million ringgit

01:09in bribes to help two companies secure projects linked to the Perikatan national government's

01:14Janawibawa initiative. He also faced seven charges of laundering more than 3 million ringgit.
