Najib's lawyer accuses former 1MDB CEO of CBT and money laundering


KUALA LUMPUR: Former 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) CEO Mohd Hazem Abd Rahman should have been sent to jail for criminal breach of trust and money laundering over the company's funds, the High Court heard.

Lead defence counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, who represented former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, made the scathing suggestion after another intense grilling of Mohd Hazem, the tenth prosecution witness on the stand, at Najib's RM2.28bil 1MDB trial here on Monday.
