Najib claims selective prosecution in SRC International case


PUTRAJAYA: The prosecution was selective in its decision to charge former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak with criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving RM42mil from SRC International Sdn Bhd funds even though three others were wanted for the same offence, the Court of Appeal heard.

Defence lawyer Harvinderjit Singh said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had asked Interpol to issue red notices for former director Datuk Suboh Md Yassin, former CEO Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil and one Mohamed Redzuan Adamshah.
