KUALA LUMPUR: Five of the 35 corruption charges against former Sabah chief minister Tan Sri Musa Aman involving US$63.3 million were withdrawn by the prosecution in the High Court today. “The accused still has 30 corruption charges against him and investigation is still going on,” he told the court. The DPP also informed the court that the prosecution had made some amendments to the existing 30 charges involving US$50.1 million and 16 money laundering charges involving more than US$37.8 million and S$2.5 million. On the second to ninth and 11th to 15th charges, Musa allegedly received US$37,845,491.60 in proceeds from illegal activities from several individuals through an account under Barnes’ name. On the 10th charge, he allegedly received S$2.5 million in proceeds from illegal activities, through the same account.
