1MDB trial may be nullified if Sri Ram disqualified


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s legal team has warned that the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial may be nullified if they succeed in the bid to disqualify Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram (pic) from leading the prosecution team.

Lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said on the assumption that the decision is in favour of Najib and if the defence is proven right that Sri Ram’s appointment is null, the whole trial will ultimately be nullified.
