No error in sentencing principles of Najib, say Court of Appeal


KUALA LUMPUR: The trial judge who convicted Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case did not err in his sentencing principles when he ordered the former premier to serve a total of 12 years in jail and pay a RM210mil fine, says the Court of Appeal.

A three-man panel chaired by Justice Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil said the trial judge at the High Court, Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, had balanced the interests of the appellant (Najib) with that of the pain and suffering that he had inflicted upon the nation.
