KUALA LUMPUR: The former Kuala Lumpur Criminal Investigation Department (CID) chief, Ku Chin Wah, was ordered on Friday to enter his defence for allegedly failing to declare a commission of RM961,500.
The trial will resume on February 6 next year.
Sessions Court judge Sohaini Alias ruled the prosecution had a prima facie case against Ku under Section 49(3) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001.
“The prosecution can amend the charge to include the word ‘intentionally’ for Ku failing to obey the public prosecutor’s notice,” she added.
Ku’s lawyer, Geethan Ram Vincent, told the court his client will take the witness stand.
Ku claimed trial on January 22 for allegedly failing to obey the public prosecutor’s notice under Section 49(1) of the Act. He failed to declare, in a sworn statement on 8 January 2014, how he obtained a “commission” of RM961,500.
DPP Budiman Lufti Mohamed prosecuted.
