Lawyer Shafee under self-quarantine, trial to continue next month


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The trial involving lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, who is facing money laundering charges involving RM9.5mil he allegedly received from former premier Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and for making false statements to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) will continue on Aug 27 at the High Court here.

Muhammad Shafee's counsel, Harvinderjit Singh, said hearing of the case, which was supposed to enter its third day today, was postponed as his client was under self-quarantine until Aug 1 after coming into close contact with a Covid-19 positive person.
