Najib’s 1MDB trial adjourned


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1Malaysia Development Bhd hearing was put off after two people called in sick while a third trial involving the former prime minister and 1MDB on the alleged tampering of the sovereign fund’s final audit report will begin on Monday as scheduled.

The High Court here adjourned Najib’s 1MDB trial as his lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah and the ninth prosecution witness, former CEO of 1MDB Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi, took medical leave.
