KUALA LUMPUR: A businessman accused of dishonestly misappropriating RM10,000 belonging to an oil and gas company has been acquitted and discharged by the Sessions Court. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against Mohamed Noor Mohamed Amin, 50.
Judge Datin Sabariah Othman made the decision on Wednesday (Aug 2) after assessing the testimony of prosecution witnesses and the presented documents. She concluded that the prosecution did not provide strong evidence to prove that the RM10,000 in question belonged to FMG Synergy Sdn Bhd.
“Therefore, there was no evidence to show that the accused misappropriated the company’s money. Consequently, the court hereby acquits and discharges the accused without requiring him to enter his defence against the charges under Section 403 of the Penal Code,” stated Judge Sabariah.
Mohamed Noor was charged with dishonestly misappropriating the RM10,000 by using it to pay his personal credit card bills at a bank in Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, on September 19, 2018. The defence lawyer, Nurul Huda Razali, successfully argued that the prosecution failed to prove that the money actually belonged to FMG Synergy Sdn Bhd.
The prosecution was led by Deputy Public Prosecutor Shakira Aliana Alias. The trial concluded with Mohamed Noor’s acquittal, marking the end of the legal proceedings in this case.
