The three accused are seen at the Kuching Court Complex.
Three bank officers have been faced with serious allegations of defrauding a 61-year-old woman out of RM16,000 through a fictitious bank investment product.
The accused, aged 27, 31, and 54, entered a not guilty plea before Sessions Court Judge Noorhisham Mohd Jaafar. They were charged under Section 420 of the Penal Code, alongside Section 34 of the same code.
Legal Proceedings
This section stipulates a potential prison sentence ranging from one to ten years, along with the possibility of caning or a fine upon conviction.
The judge granted them RM10,000 court bail, requiring one local surety for each, and scheduled February 6 for case management.
The charges indicate that the bank officers allegedly misled the victim into believing in a non-existent investment scheme, ultimately leading her to hand over RM16,000.
Details of the Incident
The alleged crime took place at a bank located on Jalan Tun Jugah on November 15, 2024.
Legal representation for the accused includes counsels Ralph Lee, Datuk Shankar Ram Asnani, and Voon Lee Shan.
Meanwhile, the prosecution is led by deputy public prosecutor Mohamad Aiman Mutallib Mohamad Shariff.
