PETALING JAYA: Najib Razak has appointed a new defence team led by former law minister Zaid Ibrahim to appear for him in his SRC International appeal at the Federal Court.
In a letter to the Federal Court, his former lawyers from Shafee & Co informed the court that Najib has discharged them.
“The appellant wished to informed that he has appointed Zaid Ibrahim Suffian TH Liew & Partners as solicitors,” Shafee & Co said.
The SRC International final appeal is scheduled to be heard before the Federal Court for 10 days from Aug 15 to 26.
Lawyer Shafee Abdullah previously led the legal team defending Najib in the SRC International case.
In 2020, Najib was convicted on seven charges of power abuse, criminal breach of trust and money laundering in relation to RM42 million belonging to SRC International that was deposited into his bank accounts.
The court sentenced him to 12 years in jail and a RM210 million fine. He is out on bail pending his Federal Court hearing.
