The Federal Court has rejected Tan Sri Isa Samad's final attempt to overturn his RM3 million corruption conviction, exhausting all legal avenues available to the former Felda chairman in his long-running battle against the graft charges.
The Federal Court is expected to deliver a ruling on Datuk Isa Samad's application to review his six-year prison sentence and RM15.45 million corruption fine, with the decision anticipated following Friday prayers.
