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

Lead defence counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah made the scathing suggestion after another intense grilling of Mohd Hazem, the 10th prosecution witness on the stand, during former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s RM2.28bil 1MDB trial here yesterday.
