The prosecution has applied to transfer the case of the RM144.6 million graft trial involving former Tabung Haji chairperson Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim to High Court.

The trial which was supposed to commence today at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court has been postponed.

Deputy public prosecutor Nik Haslinie Hashim told the presiding judge Azura Alwi that the prosecution filed an application for the trial of Azeez and his elder brother Abdul Latif to be transferred to High Court last Thursday.

The court has fixed Oct 2 for case management before the deputy registrar on the application to transfer the case.

Azeez, who is Baling MP, was charged at the Sessions Court in January with 12 counts of gratification and money laundering amounting to RM144.6 million.
