#KiniNews: AGC rejects Hamzah's call to review charges; Bersatu questions rush to appeal

[KiniNews] Attorney-General Idrus Harun has rejected opposition chief Hamzah Zainudin’s call for the prosecution to review all criminal charges against Perikatan Nasional leaders following the acquittal of Muhyiddin Yassin yesterday.

He said there was no basis or sound reason for the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) to review the cases that have been brought before the justice system.

Idrus (above, left) refuted allegations that the department had acted under any political influence or pressure and stressed that AGC is an independent and professional body.

The AGC, Idrus added, takes serious statements that can taint the department’s credibility and urges all parties to refrain from suggesting that they have been compromised.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, Bersatu legal and constitution bureau today urged the AGC to withdraw its appeal against the Kuala Lumpur High Court’s decision to acquit Muhyiddin from three counts of power abuse charges.

Bureau deputy chairperson Sasha Lyna Abdul Latif also questioned the AGC's decision to appeal against the court decision on the very same day.
