Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad is currently meeting with Chief Justice Md Raus Sharif and former attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail at the Yayasan Perdana Foundation building in Putrajaya.
Abdul Gani was heading the special task force on the RM2.6 billion and SRC International issues. Midway through the probe, he was replaced due to health reasons with Mohamed Apandi Ali.
During this period, there was also a draft charge sheet against former premier Najib Abdul Razak which surfaced but this was dismissed as fake.
Raus and Gani arrived at the foundation around the same time at 2.40pm in separate cars.
Yesterday, Pakatan Harapan lawmaker Mohamed Hanipa Maidin had called on Raus to resign before he is sacked or made to face a tribunal due to allegations that his appointment as chief justice violated the Federal Constitution.
Whereas, Mahathir has trained his guns on Gani's successor since winning the May 9 general election, accusing Apandi of concealing evidence related to 1MDB.
Yesterday, the prime minister announced that Apandi would go on immediate leave while a check by Malaysiakini revealed that he has been slapped with a travel ban.
