KUALA LUMPUR: An application has been filed at the Federal Court to nullify the trial involving SRC International Sdn Bhd where Datuk Seri Najib Razak was found guilty of abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering.

"The further and additional evidence is intended primarily to persuade the Federal Court to nullify the trial of the High Court as it infringes the rules against bias and fair trial principles," said the former prime minister's lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah at the Kuala Lumpur Courts Complex on Tuesday (June 7).
