June 17, 2020 10:44 PMKUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here was told today the wife of a money changer, Omar Ali Abdullah, who is alleged to have handled illegal money transactions on behalf of Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, was unaware of the source of RM4,559,036 deposited in her company’s account.

“I do not know the source of the money, my husband handled it, I only signed the cheques,” she said during examination-in-chief by DPP Harris Ong Mohd Jeffry Ong on the 22nd day of the trial of the former deputy prime minister who is facing 47 criminal breach of trust, corruption and money laundering charges involving funds belonging to Yayasan Akalbudi.

Earlier, the mother of four said she only signed blank cheques. “I was only told by my husband that if I received calls from the bank, I only have to verify the cheque payments. To whom it was paid was beyond my control. Kamarunisah, the 69th prosecution witness, also said she did not know why 16 cheques, amounting to RM4.5 million, were made to Messrs Lewis & Co, a trustee of Yayasan Akalbudi belonging to Zahid, as all payment transactions were handled by her husband.
