The Shah Alam High Court this morning set aside convictions against PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli and former Public Bank clerk Johari Mohamad for violating the Banking and Financial Institutions Act (Bafia) by a lower court.
Both men were acquitted and discharged from their 30-month jail sentence.
High Court judge Mohd Yazid Mustafa delivered the decision at the end of Rafizi and Johari's appeal against the convictions by Shah Alam Sessions Court last year, which found them guilty over the disclosure of banking data from the accounts of National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) and its chairperson Mohd Salleh Ismail in 2012.
In acquitting Rafizi, Mohd Yazid ruled that he allowed the former Pandan MP's appeal as the High Court found that the prosecution had failed to produce original documents as evidence in the trial, which is a requirement under Section 61 of the Evidence Act.
