Abdul Gani Patail is one of the most popular and richest Prosecutor who was born on October 6, 1955 in Lahad Datu, Lahad Datu, Malaysia. Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima Abdul Gani bin Patail (born 6 October 1955) is a Malaysian prosecutor. He was the Attorney General of Malaysia from 2002 to 2015, the first from Sabah to hold the position (hailing from Lahad Datu and was born in Lahad Datu district).
It was during his time as Commissioner of Law Revision that Abdul Gani was chosen to lead the prosecution against Anwar Ibrahim during Anwar’s corruption and sodomy trial of 1998. Anwar was sentenced to a combined 15 years in prison for corruption and sodomy in April 1999 and August 2000 respectively. The sodomy conviction was overturned in 2004 by the Federal Court.
On 1 January 2002, he was appointed Attorney General of Malaysia.
Abdul Gani’s tenure as Attorney General ended in 2015 when the Chief Secretary to the Government announced he had stepped down due to health reasons. The announcement was abrupt, and Patail himself was apparently unaware of the decision to have him removed from his post. Prior to this, he was head of a multi-agency taskforce investigating claims of misappropriation of funds allegedly involving prime minister Najib Razak.
In January 1994, Abdul Gani moved to the Attorney General’s Chambers in Kuala Lumpur. There he was appointed Head of the Prosecution Division (1994 and again in 2000), Head of the Advisory and International Division (1995) and Commissioner of Law Revision (1997).
