The criminal trial of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak involving the alleged misappropriation of funds from SRC International Sdn Bhd enters day 73 today at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysiakini brings you live reports of the proceedings.
The prosecution may be able to wrap up its cross-examination of Najib Abdul Razak on the 73rd day of the former prime minister's RM42 million SRC International trial.
Yesterday, DPP V Sithambaram indicated to the Kuala Lumpur High Court that he may be able to complete his cross-examination of the accused in today's hearing.
Today would mark the 10th day that Sithambaram has been questioning the former prime minister since Dec 18 last year, following the beginning of the trial's defence stage in December.
Yesterday, Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali allowed Najib's application for an Australian handwriting expert to examine the authenticity of his disputed signatures on 13 key documents.
Proceedings yesterday saw Najib testifying that he prevented then second finance minister Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah from going to Switzerland to try to recover RM3.6 billion of SRC International's frozen funds there because Husni did not prepare a cabinet paper on the matter.
The same proceedings also saw Najib and Sithambaram in a heated exchange on how the accused could confirm his signature on a photocopied letter granting mandate in relation to one of his bank accounts and yet could not ascertain the authenticity of his signature on the 13 disputed key SRC documents.
