Part 4/7:
In another notable court case, the arraignment of 113 foreign nationals linked to cybercrime and activities posing threats to national security has hit a snag. The proceedings at the federal high court were delayed due to discrepancies in the names listed on the charge sheet. Counsel for the defendants raised this issue with Justice Security Aan, clarifying that the individuals named do not correspond with the actual defendants.
This group of accused, consisting of 87 men and 26 women from countries such as China, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, the Philippines, and Malaysia, along with 17 Nigerian accomplices, is facing a six-count charge. The prosecution acknowledged the error and requested an adjournment, leading to a new date set for the arraignment on November 29.
