Prosecution failed to prove essential elements of all charges: for s409 the required dishonest misapplication was not established; for s468 forgery and the accused's role in forging signatures were not proven (expert evidence inconsistent and no direct evidence accused forged signatures); for AMLA the predicate offences and accused's knowledge or reasonable suspicion were not proven; consequently no prima facie case existed and the accused was discharged and acquitted at close of prosecution.

NA-62K-93-12/2021 (Mahkamah Sesyen)

Court held prosecution failed to prove essential elements of the offences at the close of its case—in particular the element of fraudulent/dishonest misuse (s.409), authorship and dishonest use of forged signatures (s.468) and that the funds were proceeds of predicate offences known or suspected by the defendant (s.4(1)(b) AMLA)—and therefore no prima facie case existed; defendant discharged and freed without being called to enter defence.
