Shafee’s RM9.5mil loan claim merely to cover criminal act, says prosecution


KUALA LUMPUR: Lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah’s claim that the RM9.5mil he received from Datuk Seri Najib Razak was a loan is merely to cover his criminal act and to protect the source of the money.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Afzainizam Abdul Aziz, in his closing submission, said Muhammad Shafee on the other hand wanted to avoid paying taxes for the money he received and used it to purchase a bungalow worth RM9.3mil.
