Tell that to MACC who is surprised that the case was dropped, who then had to come up with a statement to stress that the decision to drop the case was AGC and not MACC. The fact that the trial is already on-going means there was a case - the proper way would be to let the whole trial to run it's course and let the verdict exonerate him.
And also such a high-profile case you think the AG is not involved meh? Of course not directly but still final approval to charge or drop needs to come from him.
Let's face the fact that the AG now is still beholden by the government of the day - LGE was charged during previous AG's time and charges were dropped during current govt's time.

AG TT had recused himself, the new DPP takes full responsibility for his decision to drop it.
He came in with a fresh perspective and thought it's a guaranteed losing case, hence he dropped the case, TT had nothig to do with it. As the DPP said, he only informed TT on the morning itself he decided to drop it.
MACC can terkejut all they want, but it is the DPP handling the case that has the prerogative to press on or drop it, and he made it clear it was his decision, not anyone else.
In fact, he requested for discharge not amounting to acquittal, but the court had granted full acquittal. So TT had the power to influence the court?
