Difficult to get Saudi royal family to testify over RM2.6bil donation, says Najib


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Datuk Seri Najib Razak told the High Court here Thursday (Jan 23) that it would be difficult for the defence to get a member of the Saudi royal family to testify about the RM2.6bil donation that he had purportedly received between 2011 and 2014.

The 67-year-old former prime minister said this when asked during cross-examination by deputy public prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram if any member of the royal family would be called to court to confirm the matter.
