Najib, who was on the stand earlier at the SRC International trial, said he would study the content of the recordings and had referred the matter to his lawyer.
The former prime minister, however, did not confirm nor deny whether the conversations took place and said that he would have to look into the contents of the audio recordings.
“I haven’t checked, ” he said.
He also said he would be looking into possible legal action as the audio recordings appeared to be from taps on his phone.
