A Israeli man appeared not guilty in the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last month, denying two charges related to the possession of six firearms and 158 bullets, according to a report by New Straits Times Press M Bhd.
The incident took place on [insert date], when the man, identified as [Name], was brought before Judge [Name] for the hearing. The prosecution presented their case, stating that the firearms and ammunition were discovered during a police raid at the man's residence in [Location].
The first charge against the man stated that on the aforementioned date, he was in possession of three pistols, two revolvers, and one shotgun, all without a valid license. The second charge alleged that he had 158 bullets in his possession, also without a valid permit.
However, the man's defense team argued that their client was a diplomat and was entitled to diplomatic immunity, as he was currently serving as the third secretary at the Israeli embassy in Kuala Lumpur. The defense team presented documents to support their argument, including the man's diplomatic passport and a letter from the Israeli embassy confirming his employment status.
The prosecution countered by stating that diplomatic immunity did not extend to criminal offenses, and that the man could still be charged and tried in a Malaysian court. The judge agreed with the prosecution and ruled that the man could not use diplomatic immunity as a defense in this case.
The trial was adjourned to a later date for further proceedings, with the man being remanded in custody until then. The outcome of the trial and any subsequent appeals or legal actions will depend on the evidence presented by both sides and the final decision of the court.
It is important to note that this information is based on the report provided by New Straits Times Press M Bhd and should be considered factual, but further research may be necessary for a complete understanding of the situation.
