PUTRAJAYA: The prosecution in the RM2.28bil 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial involving Datuk Seri Najib Razak skirted around the defence’s request for documents relating to Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz and Goldman Sachs with a “belly dance”, the Court of Appeal heard.

Najib’s lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said this in his submission in Najib’s appeal to obtain 19 documents which they claimed were in the possession of local authorities and would help Najib’s defence in the trial.
