The criminal trial of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak involving the alleged misappropriation of funds from SRC International Sdn Bhd enters its 50th day today at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysiakini brings you live reports of the proceedings.
More stunning testimony on 1MDB-related matters may come from former second finance minister Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah as Najib Abdul Razak's RM42 million SRC International trial enters its 50th day.
Among the more eye-opening revelations Husni made on Tuesday include being told by the "autocratic" former premier not to interfere in 1MDB.
Despite being Najib's number two in the Finance Ministry, Husni also said he was rendered a mere "office boy" when it came to decisions on the multibillion ringgit Retirement Fund Inc (KWAP) loans to SRC International.
Defence lawyers are expected to grill the 56th witness vigorously before Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, having taken a day to prepare for today's cross-examination.
This may be due to Husni's testimony threatening to overturn the defence's contention that Najib was unaware of the alleged machinations of fugitive businessperson Low Taek Jho and former SRC International CEO Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil in funnelling tens of millions into his AmBank accounts.
