‘Gap in prosecution’s case’


PUTRAJAYA: The prosecution in Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s corruption trial involving RM42mil from SRC International Sdn Bhd failed to establish the former prime minister’s dominion over the stolen funds, the Court of Appeal heard.

Najib’s lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah submitted there was a material gap in the prosecution’s case on whether the RM42mil in funds actually belonged to SRC International, a subsidiary of troubled sovereign wealth fund 1Malaysia Develop-ment Bhd (1MDB).
