Najib’s trial: Rewcastle-Brown among those at KL Court

KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak Report’s editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown was among those seen at the High Court here, where Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s graft trial is taking place.

“I’m interested to see how the prosecution lays out this case. There’s a lot of information that journalists were not aware of,” she told reporters outside the courtroom.

Rewcastle-Brown however was among several people unable to enter the courtroom as there were limited number of seats in the public gallery.

Also denied entry was former Padang Serai member of Parliament N. Gobalakrishnan, who said the public should not be stopped from entering the court.

“As a citizen, I have the right to enter a public court and listen to the proceedings,” said Gobalakrishnan who was accompanied by about 10 of Najib’s supporters.

He was voicing out his frustration while recording a video outside the courtroom, before Sentul District police chief Assistant Commissioner S. Shanmugamoorthy put a stop to it.

Najib, 66, arrived at the court complex accompanied by his youngest son Ashman.

He is facing seven charges relating to criminal breach of trust, abuse of power and money laundering involving RM42 million of SRC International Sdn Bhd’s funds.- NST
