3 Jul - Both Aliff Aziz and Ruhainies have pleaded not guilty to charges in relation to their khalwat case.

The two actors, who were previously arrested by the Federal Territories Religious Department (JAWI) in March after being caught with each other in a luxury condominium, made the plead after the charges were read to them, respectively.

Both appeared at the Federal Territories Sharia High Court on 3 July with lawyers Hadi Salleh and Amirul Ashraf Ghani, following the mention on 20 June in the Sharia Lower Court.

The court set 12 October as the next date and the bail bond of RM 1,500 was extended until that date.

The charges against them are in accordance with Section 27(a) of the Syariah Criminal Offenses (Federal Territories) Act 1997 and Section 27(b) of the same act which carries a maximum fine of RM3,000 or imprisonment of not more than two years or both if convicted fault.

Prior to this, Aliff was involved in a divorce proceeding, which resulted in him and wife Bella Astillah being officially divorced after eight years of marriage.

Aliff and Bella were officially divorced last month

Former Philippine leader Duterte and aide accused of steering government contracts to cronies
A former Philippine opposition senator accused ex-President Rodrigo Duterte of plundering state coffers in a criminal complaint filed Friday, alleging that he conspired with an aide to award government infrastructure contracts worth millions of dollars to cronies. Filed with the Department of Justice in Manila, the accusation adds to the former president’s legal worries, which include an investigation by the International Criminal Court into allegations of crimes against humanity over the widespread killings of suspects during Duterte's crackdown on illegal drugs. Former Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV said two construction companies, owned by the father and brother of longtime Duterte aide and now Sen. Christopher Lawrence Go, received more than 100 government construction contracts worth at least 6.6 billion pesos ($114 million) from 2007 to 2018 in the southern city of Davao, while Duterte was mayor and vice mayor and after he became president in 2016.
