KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 21): Former federal territories minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has been found guilty of the RM2 million graft charge against him by the High Court here.

In delivering his verdict, High Court Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan said the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt.
