NAJIB 1MDB TRIAL - DAY 21: After being unwell, Shahrol to continue testimony


The criminal trial of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak involving the alleged abuse of power and money laundering of 1MDB funds enters its 21st day today at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysiakini brings you live reports of the proceedings.

Summary of Najib’s 1MDB ‘donation’ case

Najib is facing 25 charges of receiving RM2.28 billion, which originated from 1MDB through Tanore Finance Corp, a company owned by Eric Tan, a close associate of fugitive businessperson Jho Low.

2.10pm: Accused Najib Abdul Razak enters the dock as proceedings resume.

The 21st day of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak’s RM2.28 billion 1MDB trial will start around 2pm this afternoon rather than the usual 9.30am.
On Thursday last week, lead DPP Gopal Sri Ram had informed Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah that he needed to attend to a separate case at the Federal Court in Putrajaya today before he could come to the hearing.
Incidentally, last week’s Thursday proceeding was also a half-day because 9th witness and former 1MDB CEO Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi was not feeling well, leading to early adjournment around midday.
When proceedings resume this afternoon, Najib’s lead defence counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah will resume his cross-examination of key prosecution witness Shahrol, who served as 1MDB’s CEO from 2009 to 2013.
Shafee is expected to continue where he left off last week, which was Shahrol’s testimony that 1MDB chief investment officer Vincent Koh was brought into the fund on the recommendation of its business development executive officer Casey Tang, who was an alleged associate of wanted businessperson Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low. - Mkini
