MACC officer confirms documents obtained from AmBank
3.15pm - The court sees DPP Suhaimi Ibrahim continuing his examination-in-chief on prosecution's 57th witness, MACC investigating officer Rosli Hussain (above), with confirmation of banking documents the anti-graft body obtained from AmBank last year.
According to Rosli's testimony, the documents including transfer instructions, thermal receipt and emails were received from AmBank through three letters on May 1, May 31 and June 13, 2018.
The documents were related to, among others, transactions involving former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's 906 and 898 accounts, bank accounts of Gandingan Mentari Sdn Bhd, and Ihsan Perdana Sdn Bhd.
MACC investigating officer back in the stand
2.42pm - Proceedings resume with the examination-in-chief of MACC investigating officer Rosli Hussain by deputy public prosecutor Suhaimi Ibrahim.
Hearing pushed to 2.30pm
10am - Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali pushes the hearing back to 2.30pm this afternoon.
The judge says this is to allow his court to hear the testimony of a chemist in an unrelated drug trial, who will only be available this morning.
Although the prosecution stage is entering its final days, a check of Nazlan's (photo) other criminal cases shows that for the most part, he can only accommodate half-days for the SRC International hearing this week.
Earlier, lawyers for former premier Najib Abdul Razak and prosecutors managed to convince Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah to postpone today's scheduled hearing of the RM2.28 billion 1MDB trial to next Monday.
Najib enters court
9.50am - Accused Najib Abdul Razak enters the court of Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, and takes a seat at the front row of the public gallery.
Today, MACC investigating officer Rosli Hussain is expected to resume his examination-in-chief by the prosecution.
Prosecutors and defence lawyers are also expected to discuss the remaining trial dates with Nazlan.
The prosecution stage of Najib Abdul Razak’s RM42 million SRC International graft trial enters its 54th day with MACC investigating officer Rosli Hussain resuming his testimony.
The trial continues before Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, as the RM2.28 billion 1MDB hearing that was set to start today was adjourned to Monday next week.
Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah, who is presiding over the 1MDB trial, allowed the postponement after the case's lead prosecutor, Gopal Sri Ram, pointed out that the prosecution stage of the SRC case is nearing its conclusion.
It is understood that the prosecution will try to wrap up its case in the SRC International trial by Friday this week.
