KUALA LUMPUR: An investigating officer told the Sessions Court on Tuesday (March 31) that his investigations revealed that there was direct evidence showing that Datuk Seri Azlan Man received RM1.06mil from illicit activities related to the cancellation of his vacation package abroad. "The holiday package reservation was made by Herwardy Hashim (Azlan’s then senior private secretary) on the orders of Datuk Seri Azlan Man and he (Azlan) then ordered Herwardy to inform both tour agencies about the package cancellation. "My investigation found that the refund was set by Datuk Seri Azlan Man himself as he cancelled his holiday. He said both tour agencies were instructed to refund the money to Azlan through four cheques totalling RM852,207.28 and RM207,468 in cash from 2014 to 2017. The trial in front of Judge Azura Alwi will resume on April 23.- Bernama
