KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Former Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) board of directors member, Datuk Noor Ehsanuddin Mohd Harun Narrashi, has been acquitted and discharged of 29 bribery charges after the prosecution withdrew all the charges against him. His counsel Datuk Hasnal Rezua Merican, when contacted, said the prosecution had informed the court on the withdrawal of the 29 charges during the case proceeding before Sessions Court judge Suzana Hussin last May 21. "Actually, the date (May 21) was set for continuation of the case hearing but the prosecution informed the court on withdrawing all the charges against the accused. "Therefore, the prosecution withdrew the charges against my client (Noor Ehsanuddin) and the court then acquitted and discharged him of all 29 charges,” said the lawyer on Wednesday (Sept 1). The cases in Johor Baru and Shah Alam were heard together with the case in the Sessions Court here.
