PUTRAJAYA: Tears flowed freely at the public gallery of the Federal Court as Tan Sri Mohd Isa Samad’s conviction and sentence in a RM3.09mil graft case were restored. His family members, including wife Puan Sri Bibi Sharliza Mohd Khalid, were hugging and comforting each other after the decision was passed down yesterday. It is understood that Mohd Isa would be sent to the Sungai Buloh prison immediately as the committal order was issued. Earlier, a three-judge panel chaired by Federal Court judge Justice Nordin Hassan allowed the appeal by the prosecution to reinstate Mohd Isa’s conviction and sentence by the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Feb 3, 2021. On Feb 3, 2021, the High Court found Mohd Isa guilty and sentenced him but on March 6, 2024, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeal unanimously set aside his conviction and sentence.
