The Federal Court has scheduled December 11 and 12 to hear the prosecution's appeal against the acquittal of Muar Member of Parliament Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman. This appeal concerns charges of criminal breach of trust, misappropriation of property, and money laundering, all involving ARMADA funds. The initial acquittal by the Court of Appeal on June 25 overturned a High Court conviction and sentence from November 9, 2023.
Criminal Breach of Trust Allegations

Syed Saddiq is accused of abetting the former Assistant Treasurer of Armada, Rafiq Hakim Razali, in committing criminal breach of trust involving RM1 million of Armada funds. This alleged offence occurred at CIMB Bank Berhad, KL Sentral, on March 6, 2020, and falls under Section 406 of the Penal Code.
Misappropriation of Property Charge

A separate charge against Syed Saddiq involves the misappropriation of RM120,000 belonging to Armada Bumi Bersatu Enterprise. This alleged offence is being prosecuted under Section 403 of the Penal Code.
Money Laundering Accusations

The former Youth and Sports Minister also faces accusations of engaging in two money laundering transactions. Each transaction allegedly involved transferring RM50,000 to his Amanah Saham Bumiputera account. These charges are brought under Section 4(1)(b) of the Prevention of Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
