KUALA LUMPUR: Former minister in the prime minister's department (religious affairs) Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom will challenge the three charges he faces over the disposal of RM860.3 million in Tabung Haji (TH) assets.
His lawyer, Datuk Hamidi Mohd Noh, told the Sessions Court today that the defence would file several applications in connection with the case, including a challenge to the charges against his client.
"We will file several applications, including one concerning his passport, after reviewing the documents handed over by the prosecution," he said during mention proceedings before Judge Rosli Ahmad.
Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Nidzuwan Abd Latip informed the court that the prosecution handed over a volume of documents to the defence but needed more time to submit the remaining documents, including banking records.
