PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal will deliver its verdict on Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's appeal over his 12 years’ jail sentence and a fine of RM210 million for misappropriating RM42 million in SRC International Sdn Bhd funds.

The decision is scheduled to be delivered online at 9am Wednesday (Dec 8), due to the fact that the former prime minister and his defence counsels were casual contacts to Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah’s son, Muhammad Farhan, who tested positive for Covid-19.
