read zach. that jib appealed a 2020 conviction for money laundering and corruption and a 12 year prison term. prosecutors had said a 4 and a half a $1000000000.00 was stolen from the one m d b fund, which he co founded. the court charged and nat geo, before illegally receiving $10000000.00 from that fund. he's been on bell since 2018, pending that appeal for more on the story. let's bring in florence louis. he joins us live now from cologne. poor. hello, there florence. what happened at court today while have been a day of high drama court. the hearing was originally shed you to go until the end of the week. now instead, we heard not deploy an attempt to fall, it will fall an application, asking the chief justice to reduce herself, saying that she was by as that application was heard and dismissed. not just lawyers also thought to have the hearing postponed, that postponement was rejected. and ultimately we heard not just speak from the doc

itself, where he again attempted to portray himself as a victim of justice. he thought to paint the high court judge who hurt the initial case as biased. he said the chief justice is hearing this final appeal is could also be biased because on the basis that her husband had posted critical views of nudges on social media several years ago. but ultimately, the 5 member panel of the federal court dismissed those arguments. and the, the court said that their findings based on what they, what they read from what the high court said, and also based on the submissions as a court of appeal. and the written submissions that was filed at the federal court . the findings were that there was nothing wrong with the initial decision made by the high court that would warrant this final court to intervene. and therefore they upheld his guilty conviction. and it also means that his sentence of 12 years and the find of the approximate value of $45000000.00 is upheld. so weird through from

here, florence, what's next to the headed to jail? that means he will go to prison. the judge said there will be no stay of the sentence. now we are still waiting to see what we have still waiting for, not your brother to emerge from court. as far as i know, after the court was adjourned, he was seen in the dock talk. if speaking to members of his family, his son was there, his wife was there as well. now, he will be headed to prison and it's very likely that it will happen today. now he will be the 1st former prime minister of malaysia to be imprisoned. now, there were concerns that because i'm know that is the party to which not your product belongs. and this is the dominant political party in malaysia because this party is now back in power. there were concerns that they could be interference in the judiciary. and these proceedings there were concerns that justice may not be

served because we've also seen in the last years that corruption cases involving politicians that somehow faded away because the attorney general had decided not to pursue the cases. so there were concerns that this could happen. now, this judgment now will lay those fears, and another thing is because nothing has long sought to portray himself as a victim of political persecution. that argument will hold less more to now, because this judgment is take. this judgment has been delivered with his parties still in power, so it's going to become a lot more difficult for him to argue that he is a victim of political persecution. and this is important because remember, there are also several of the cases involving one m, d, b that are still ongoing against him. this particular case involves a form, a subsidiary of one m, d, b. and it's long been regarded as one of the less complex cases in that whole corruption in that whole corruption saga. thank you for bringing this up to save

calling on judges to dissolve parliament and set a date for early elections to be held. that last, wait, a judicial body told santa it has no authority over the legislative legislator. the council says it's unconstitutional to try to force it to issue ain't a crane mock, mont abdel, why had joins us live now from baghdad. mamo dear outside those offices, what's happening where you are well, this is another episode of escalation by supporters of che, at lee. that a mocked to the southern this time in front of the supreme judiciary. a council. the point is that they're blaming the counsel for what they say, not doing the rule. they believe that the counselors judiciary counsel is politicized. a stake in the side of their arrival, namely, they're a pro iranian parliamentary block named as the for coordination framework. they have demanded that the council dissolved with the parliament and there are

eliot actions be house, but death to the see counsel on the other hand issued a statement. if you think that explaining that it is not entitled to dissolve the parliament a by virtue of the constitution, namely by virtue of optical lumper, 64 of the constitution that stimulates that. the parliament is dissolved only in 2 cases. one, if it is requested by the law makers, at least 2 thirds. and 2nd, david is requested by the prime minister unapproved by the president of the states . in both cases it should go through sophisticated procedures including a vote close as inside the parliament, which parliament, which has now on hold as you know, that same support on his part of these are the cliques, their friends that a photo support us. our have now stage it sit in 4 weeks now in front of the parliament. holton gull presence. now the supreme judiciary council as is

the judiciary council says it is not entitled to do that. in fact, if the, the parliament itself should take action to dissolve it so. so another episode obey escalation. another episode, another version of sit in by supporters of she at lee that looked at her so that they have taken control of the parliament for corrupt almost a month now. and now they've taken control of the supreme judiciary council facilities. so it seems that this is some kind of the escalation at if the government is not taking action. as this supreme did, she, coulson is blaming the government and claiming what it calls political and institution political parties, for what has caused the aggression against its facilities. or i'm sure he gave his updated as to having things unfold there. macklin to abdougla had life for us in baghdad. thank you. the preserved heart of brazil's 1st emperor has arrived in the
