Lawyer sues AG and 10 others

A lawyer has filed a multi million civil action against the Attorney General, former Inspector General of Police, Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner and seven others for malicious prosecution.

Rosli Dahlan filed the suit involving more than RM47 million on Friday at the Civil High Court here through Messrs Kumar Partnership.

He named Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, Tan Sri Musa Hassan, Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed, the MACC, Malaysian Government, Royal Malaysian Police, three deputy public prosecutors, a MACC investigation officer and a police officer as defendants.

In his statement of claim, he said the defendants conspired to arrest and charge him in court for a MACC case.

He said he was acquitted by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on Dec 20, 2010.

Rosli is seeking punitive, aggravated and exemplary damages totaling RM47 million, special damages of RM750,000, costs and other relief deemed fit by the court.
