Backbencher Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor can now breathe easy following news that the government will not go through with an appeal against his acquittal in a corruption case.

Four months ago, the Court of Appeal overturned a High Court decision to convict the Umno politician in his RM2 million graft case.

Shortly after the decision, the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) as the prosecution filed an appeal with the Federal Court.
