1MDB trial: Najib’s defence team told off by judge for ‘going in circles’ with questions


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s defence team in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial at the High Court was told off by the presiding judge over their line of questioning which seemed to be “going in circles”.

Lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram first raised his annoyance towards the questions posed to former 1MDB non-executive director Tan Sri Ismee Ismail, who was being cross-examined by Najib’s lawyer Datuk Hariharan Tara Singh, and told the defence to do better to save the court’s time.
