A 63-year-old man will face trial at the High Court here next year for allegedly handling property linked to a terrorist about a decade ago.
Judicial Commissioner Ratanah Devi Yusof Perumal fixed April 6 to 8 next year for the hearing when the case was mentioned in court yesterday.
The case was previously brought before the Sessions Court in Sandakan on June 11, where no plea was recorded before it was transferred to the High Court.
The accused, who works as a heavy vehicle driver, later claimed trial to the charge at the High Court on June 16.
He is accused of transferring RM284.10 through a money remittance company for the benefit of an alleged terrorist.
The alleged offence took place at a money transfer outlet in Sandakan at about 9.01am on June 24, 2016.
The man was charged under Section 130Q(1) of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of 20 years, whipping and forfeiture of property involved in the offence upon conviction.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Nur Ainaa Ridzwan appeared for the prosecution, while the accused was represented by lawyer Sharatha Masyaroh John Ridwan Lincon.
The court will hear the case over three days beginning April 6 next year.
