KUALA LUMPUR: Najib Razak, who is currently serving his jail sentence for misappropriating SRC International funds amounting to RM42 million, is expected to attend his 1MDB trial in the Kuala Lumpur High Court tomorrow.
It was understood that the court had issued an order to the Kajang prison to produce the 69-year-old former premier to attend tomorrow’s proceedings before judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah.
Najib is facing four charges of using his position to obtain bribes totalling RM2.3 billion from 1MDB funds and 21 charges of money laundering involving the same amount.
Yesterday, Najib was sent to the Kajang prison after the Federal Court upheld his conviction and sentence of 12 years’ jail and RM210 million fine in the SRC case.
A five-member bench led by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat dismissed Najib’s appeal to set aside the conviction and sentence imposed by the Kuala Lumpur High Court on July 28, 2020.
Najib had on Dec 8, 2021, failed to overturn the ruling after the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court’s decision. - FMT
