Lawyer: Najib sues bank after trial despite knowing about transactions earlier


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The High Court here heard today that Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had already known that transactions were made in his accounts in 2016 but the former prime minister only filed a civil action against AmBank and its former relationship manager, Joanna Yu Ging Ping, after Yu testified in the SRC International case.

Lawyer Datuk Dr Gurdial Singh Nijar (pic), representing Yu, submitted that the former premier only relied on his client’s evidence to file a civil action after the bank officer testified as a prosecution witness on July 22, last year.
