Judge Suzana Hussin granted the application by deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib for Noor Azrina Azmi’s case to be jointly tried with Abu Sahid’s. Suzana set April 6 for mention of the case and document submission. Ahmad Akram told the court earlier that sessions court judge Rosli Ahmad had approved the transfer of Noor Azrina’s case. “We request that Noor Azrina’s case be tried jointly with Abu Sahid’s, as both involve the same transactions, and I understand this is not opposed by the defence,” he said. Jasbeer Singh, counsel for Abu Sahid, confirmed that the defence had no objection. Noor Azrina, 49, is charged with money laundering involving more than RM60 million. She is accused of receiving RM67,136,588.43 in illegal proceeds in her bank account from her husband’s account at a Bukit Tunku bank between March 6 and Nov 27, 2017. Abu Sahid, 75, is on trial for five CBT and 13 money laundering charges linked to the Maju Expressway extension construction project.
