NAJIB TRIAL - Day 51: MACC officer to testify on SRC probe as trial nears its end
The criminal trial of former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak involving
the alleged misappropriation of funds from SRC International Sdn Bhd
enters its 51st day today at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysiakini brings you live reports of the proceedings.
Najib Abdul Razak’s SRC International trial is nearing its end, with one
possible final witness set to testify on the 51st day of the hearing
before Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali.
The witness, an MACC investigating officer, is expected to give oral
evidence regarding the probe into the alleged abuse of power, criminal
breach of trust and money laundering involving RM42 million from SRC
International, a former subsidiary of 1MDB.
But the officer may not be the last person to take the stand if the defence team opts to call in a former minister.
Yesterday, lead defence counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said that this
former minister may be called in to give oral evidence on an alleged
text message that threatened to expose Najib.
During cross-examination yesterday, Shafee asked former second finance
minister Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah whether he had sent such a message to his
former cabinet colleague.
Husni told the court that he could not remember doing so.
