KUALA LUMPUR: Former federal territories minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has been found guilty of accepting RM2 million from businessman Chai Kin Kong four years ago.
In his 20 minute verdict, High Court Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan said the defence had failed to create a doubt in the prosecution’s case.
The judge will now proceed to impose sentence after submissions on mitigating and aggravating factors from Tengku Adnan’s lawyer Tan Hock Chuan and deputy public prosecutor Julia Ibrahim.
The court has broken for a short recess.
Tengku Adnan better known as Ku Nan received the money from Chai, who was Aset Kayamas’ director, despite knowing that the businessman’s companies had dealings with the federal territories ministry which was under the Putrajaya MP at the time.
The offence, under Section 165 of the Penal Code, carries up to two years’ imprisonment, or a fine, or both, upon conviction. – FMT
