On June 11, Peter, who is Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) vice-president, had also claimed trial to five counts of money laundering involving RM8.75 million involving RISDA land deal. He was allowed bail of RM500,000 with two local sureties.
On June 15, Michael also pleaded not guilty to three counts of CBT and money laundering in connection with the RISDA land deal.
The court set remention for today’s case on Aug 4, together with the money laundering case.

Mirchelle Sambatan, Amin Fakri and Mohd Faliq Basarudin - appeared for the prosecution, while Peter was represented by lawyers Dominic Chew, Datuk Douglas Lind, Martin Tommy and Luke Ressa Balang. - BERNAMA
