Najib’s discovery applications in 1MDB trial not permissible under Malaysian law, says prosecutor


KUALA LUMPUR: The discovery application filed by Datuk Seri Najib Razak relating to documents linked to former Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz is merely a collateral attack on issues raised at the RM2.28bil 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial), the High Court here heard.

That is not permissible under our law, ” ad hoc prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram said in his submission before the court at the hearing of the application on Monday (May 31).
