KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 — Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was slapped with four counts of corruption and two counts of money laundering charges at the Sessions Court here today, making him the second former prime minister to be accused and put in the dock for allegedly soliciting bribes and embezzling public funds.
If convicted, Muhyiddin faces an imprisonment term not exceeding 20 years and a fine of not less than five times the sum or value of the gratification received under the said offence, where such gratification is capable of being valued or is of a pecuniary nature, or RM10,000, whichever is the higher.
Under the first charge, Muhyiddin is accused of receiving bribes amounting to RM200 million from Bukhary Equity Sdn. Bhd on behalf of Bersatu. The offence was allegedly committed at the prime minister’s office in Putrajaya. Muhyiddin is the president of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, a former PH component member.
