Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan set the date during re-mention of the case on Monday (April 22). Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Datuk Raja Rozela Raja Toran announced the application was made given it is a high-profile case. "The prosecution made the application to transfer the case from the Sessions Court to the High Court as the amount of money or funds involved in both cases was high and was more appropriate to be heard at the High Court,” she said. Counsel Ng Aik Guan, who is representing Musa, 68, said the defence would need time to file an affidavit on the application. For the fourth and fifth charges, Musa is accused of receiving US$2,702,702 and US$2,180,673 from Young Generation Corp via the account in Barnes's name being proceeds from illegal activities.
