The Court of Appeal today acquitted and discharged 14 individuals, including two siblings of businessman Nicky Liow Soon Hee, from charges of being involved in the organised crime group known as the “Nicky Gang” five years ago.

The three-panel judge led by Kamaludin Mat Said made the unanimous decision after lawyer Rajpal Singh representing the 13 individuals, informed that the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) had received representations from all appellants to be fully acquitted of the charges.
