Najib in bid to recuse Sri Ram


KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has filed for leave for a judicial review to challenge Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram’s appointment as the lead prosecutor in his corruption and money laundering charges amounting to RM2.3bil involving 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).

Najib’s lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah told the High Court yesterday that the defence filed the application for leave to support their earlier application to disqualify Sri Ram’s appointment.
