KUALA LUMPUR: Businessman Nicky Liow has been granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) on 26 money laundering charges involving more than RM36 million after the prosecution withdrew the case.

From the original report

His lawyer Datuk Rajpal Singh said the Attorney-General's Chambers decided not to proceed after Liow, whose full name is Liow Soon Hee, settled RM400,000 in outstanding taxes with the Inland Revenue Board.

A DNAA releases an accused without a conviction or acquittal, but the prosecution may revive the charges if new evidence or circumstances emerge.

This is a brief of a report by another newsroom. The excerpt below is from the original.
