Najib didn’t need to report undetected RM42mil in his accounts, says lawyer


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak's defence team said that the former prime minister didn't need to lodge a police report regarding the RM42mil transferred into his personal bank accounts as the relevant agencies had begun investigations on the matter, the High Court heard.

Lawyer Harvinderjit Singh, in his submission, said various investigating agencies had started investigations into the said bank accounts when Sarawak Report did its expose in July 2015.
