SRC appeal: Strange to say foreign lawyer better equipped to lead SRC appeal, says prosecution


KUALA LUMPUR: A foreign lawyer who lacks knowledge of domestic criminal laws and procedures could not possibly have special qualifications or experience applicable to the RM42mil SRC International Sdn Bhd appeal at the Federal Court, the prosecution says.

In an affidavit-in-opposition, the prosecution contended it was "strange" that there were no local lawyers to defend the said charges faced by Datuk Seri Najib Razak when the Pekan MP's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah himself and his team defended the appellant (Najib) from the High Court to the Federal Court.
