SRC trial: Don't convict Najib based on court of public opinion


KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who is facing criminal charges involving the misappropriation of RM42mil in SRC International Sdn Bhd funds, should not be convicted based on the court of public opinion, the High Court heard.

Lawyer Farhan Read, one of the lawyers in Najib's defence team, said on Tuesday (June 2) that it was understandable that the public would be angry over the case as the charges levelled against the Pekan MP were serious allegations.
