THERE were certainly unintended consequences from the trial of former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The UMNO president is facing 33 charges of corruptly accepting millions of ringgit in multiple currencies from Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd (UKSB) for granting them the license for foreign visa or VLN.
The money was paid to him at his residence between 2014 and 2018.
While the charges are against Zahid, witnesses from the trial have revealed that Zahid was not the sole beneficiary of this donation and that there were other prominent politicians involved in this matter as well.
