The Intermediate Court yesterday adjourned the case of an Assistant Superintendent of Customs on charges of Criminal Breach of Trust.
Defence counsel Wafa Mohamad of Messrs Ridzlan and Co sought for the prosecution to furnish all documents and time to go through the ones that have been provided recently, in the case alleging 50-year-old ASC Suyati binti Haji Ahmad Besar of the three charges of criminal breach of trust by a public servant. Judge Radin Safiee bin Radin Mas Basiuni fixed March 29 for further mention of the case.
