Court of Appeal affirms stand that Najib used position for gratification

PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak closed his eyes and chose not to verify the origins of the millions that came into his bank accounts, says the Court of Appeal.

In a summary judgment, a three-man panel of the appellate court chaired by Justice Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil agreed with the trial judge at the High Court that Najib’s contention that he had justifiable reasons not to suspect anything untoward in the flow of the RM42mil from SRC International Sdn Bhd was simply a “flawed” defence.
