Najib's allegation against SRC trial judge baseless, says DPP

KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution in former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s (pic) SRC International case says the allegations by the former premier against judge Datuk Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali are a desperate attempt to nullify the trial.

Deputy public prosecutor Mohd Ashrof Adrin Kamarul, in reply to Najib’s supporting affidavit in his application to obtain a declaration that the SRC trial was null and void and to request a retrial, said the claim that there was a conflict of interest involving the judge, who previously held a position in Maybank Berhad, could have been raised during the trial.
