Deputy public prosecutor Farah Ezlin Yusop Khan told sessions court judge Suzana Hussin here today that the AGC dismissed the representation filed on July 1 by Mohd Rasyidi Mohd Said, 44, and Datuk Roy, 55, yesterday.

The judge then maintained the trial dates set for Aug 8 and 9.

At the proceedings today, which were set for mention, Rasyidi and Datuk Roy, whose real name is Hussein Nasir, were represented by lawyer Ariff Azami Hussein.

They were jointly charged with corruptly asking for bribes amounting to RM400,000 from Siti Dalena Berhan, 47, as an inducement not to remand Fakhri Yassin Mahiaddin during the MACC investigation.

The offence was allegedly committed at a restaurant in Bangsar here between 9pm and 11pm on March 5 last year.

They are also charged with accepting bribes amounting to RM240,000 from Syed Farid Syed Al Attas, 41, as an inducement for MACC not to remand the same person during the investigation.

That offence was allegedly committed at a fast food outlet in Desa Sri Hartamas here between 2pm and 4pm on March 6 last year.

They were charged under Section 16(a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009, punishable under Section 24 of the same act, which carries up to 20 years in jail and a fine of not less than five times the amount of the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction.

Hussien was also charged with soliciting bribes of RM2 million from Siti Dalena and Syed Farid.

The bribe allegedly sought was said to be an inducement to change the corruption charges against Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad to a lighter one, change his statement to one given as a witness, and lower his bail amount.

The offence, under Section 16(a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009, was allegedly committed in Kampung Melayu Kepong here in February last year.
