Adam Rosly's case to be heard from Dec 4

Judge Allaudeen Ismail set Dec 4 to 29, 2017 and Jan 9 to 19, 2018 for the hearing.

Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib from the MACC informed the court that he had handed over the related documents to lawyer Ahmad Zaidi Ismail, representing Adam Rosly.

Ahmad Zaidi confirmed receiving the documents and that the defence did not intend to file a representation against the charges faced by his client and asked the dates for the hearing be fixed.

After the proceeding, Ahmad Akram told reporters that 20 prosecution witnesses would be called to testify at the hearing.

On April 21, Adam Rosly, 29, pleaded not guilty to the first and second charge of giving false statements to two MACC investigating officers while his statements were being recorded. The charges were made under Section 32(8)(c) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.

The false statements were about his career as a businessman and his income, luxury cars, and a bungalow worth RM1.2 million in Kampung Melayu Ampang which he claimed he bought with money from his business ventures, loan of RM200,000 from his mother-in-law and late grandmother, and a loan of RM500,000 from an 'Ah Long' (illegal money lender).

For the third to sixth charge, he is alleged to have used falsified documents comprising two loan agreements with two individuals, and two cash vouchers from a company, Gegas Mentari Holding Sdn Bhd, with the intention of misleading the MACC investigating officers.

These charges were made under Section 89 of the same Act. He is alleged to have committed the offences at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya between 9am and 12.15pm on Feb 10 and between 9am and 2pm on Feb 22.

All the charges provide for a fine of up RM3 million or a jail term of up to five years, or both, upon conviction.

Adam Rosly who was in a white shirt and blue pants, arrived at the court with his family members about 8.30am.
