Najib's story on Arab donation a 'weak fabrication', Court of Appeal hears


PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s defence that he believed he had received funds from the Saudi King’s donation was nothing short of a weak fabrication and self-serving evidence, the Court of Appeal heard.

Ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram said evidence showed clearly that Najib could not have believed that the money, being the subject matter of the charges in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case, were Arab donations.
