Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak’s lead counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said he is "delighted" to see the charges against his client were not fully thought out, which he claimed shows that the prosecution is desperate.
“I am quite surprised but at the same time, delighted that there is the sort of charges they brought because I thought that these are desperate charges.
“It doesn’t show anything deeper than that (the charges) and it also clearly shows that the authorities are desperate to bring charges on 1MDB to keep to their obligation to see through their election manifesto that they will bring charges on 1MDB,” he told reporters today.
He was speaking to reporters outside the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex after representing Najib at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court.
Najib was charged with 21 counts of money laundering and four counts of abuse of power today.
