Former National Feedlot Corporation Sdn Bhd (NFCorp) chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Salleh Ismail would be recalled to give his testimony in the NFCorp cheating case of businessman Datuk Shamsubahrin Ismail involving RM1.755 million.
Sessions Court Judge Rozilah Salleh made the decision after granting the defence's application to recall the witness under Section 162 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
The court fixed next Feb 20 for the proceeding.
Earlier, counsel Kamarul Hisham Kamaruddin made the application to recall 42nd prosecution witness Mohamad Salleh for cross examination on the role of former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad whose name was cited in all the five amended charges faced by Shamsubahrin.
Last Nov 26, the judge ordered Shamsubahrin to enter his defence and allowed an amendment to insert Dr Mahathir's name in the charges under Section 158 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
In the first amended charge, Shamsubahrin allegedly persuaded Mohamad Salleh into believing that he had been instructed by Dr Mahathir to assist and offer him consultancy services, prompting the victim to agree to pay him RM2.75 million.
He is accused of committing the offence at Restoran Sid's Pub at H2, Taman Tunku, Off Langkat Tunku here at 6 pm on Nov 20, 2011.
In the second to fifth amended charges, the businessman is accused of deceitfully telling Mohamad Salleh that he was instructed by Dr Mahathir to assist and offer him consultancy services.
The alleged action had induced Mohamad Salleh to hand over to the accused, four cheques amounting to RM1.755 million purportedly for consultancy services, advice and to bribe police officers at the commercial crime investigation department in Bukit Perdana into closing the case relating to NFCorp.
Shamsubahrin allegedly committed the offences at a number of banks in Taman Tun Dr Ismail; Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC); and Petaling Jaya between Nov 25, 2011 and Dec 5, 2011.
He had also been ordered to enter his defence for 17 charges of money-laundering involving RM1.755 million.
