The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) has withdrawn its appeal against PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli's acquittal in the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) Banking and Financial Institutions Act 1989 (Bafia) case.
Rafizi’s lawyer Ahmad Nizam Hamid confirmed this with Malaysiakini today.
“What happened this morning is that the attorney-general (Tommy Thomas), through a deputy public prosecutor, withdrew the appeal notice that was filed previously.
“The notice was personally signed by Thomas himself.
“This means the Nov 15 decision by the High Court in Shah Alam to acquit Rafizi stands. Rafizi is now free,” Nizam said when contacted this afternoon.
The appeal was heard by the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya, before judges Yaacob Md Sam, P Ravinthran and Abu Bakar Jais.
