KUALA LUMPUR: The former 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) CEO was rebuked by Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s lead counsel, who called the top management of the sovereign wealth fund “a bunch of idiots” for its failure to check the legitimacy of a company it went into business with.
Lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah used the strong words during his cross-examination of Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi here during Najib’s 1MDB trial involving RM2.28bil at the High Court on Tuesday (Aug 4).
