Company director claims trial to using fake bank documents

KUALA LUMPUR - A company director pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to a charge of using fake bank statements four years ago.

Ahmad Faiz Fikrey Izani, 35, was charged with using a set of fake Maybank Islamic bank statements for the months of October, November and December 2018, in the name of his company.

The offence was allegedly committed at the Putrajaya Federal Court Chief Registrar office at 12.01pm on Feb 20, 2019.

The charge framed under Section 471 of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 465 of the same act provides for a maximum jail term of two years or a fine or both, upon conviction.

Deputy public prosecutor Zander Lim Wai Keong offered bail of RM20,000 with one surety and for the accused to report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Kelantan office once a month.

The accused’s counsel Hamdan Hamzah urged that the bail be reduced as his client has two small children and a family to support.

Judge Azura Alwi allowed the accused bail of RM12,000 with one surety with the additional condition that he reports to the MACC office once a month and fixed Nov 29 for case mention. - BERNAMA
