Tommy Thomas succeeded in his application to nullify former premier Najib Abdul Razak’s wrongful prosecution suit against the former attorney-general.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court this morning allowed the former government top lawyer’s bid to strike out the civil action without it needing to go to a full trial.
Najib’s lawsuit against Thomas is over the former finance minister’s alleged wrongful prosecution in four ongoing criminal cases, namely the RM2.28 billion 1MDB corruption case, the 1MDB audit report case, the RM6.6 billion International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) criminal breach of trust (CBT) case, and the RM27 million SRC International money laundering case.
The civil suit however is not over seven charges related to the RM42 million SRC corruption case (a separate case from the RM27 million SRC money laundering case), for which Najib is serving a 12-year jail sentence.
During online proceedings today, judge Ahmad Bache ordered Najib to pay RM12,000 costs to Thomas.
