Najib’s 1MDB trial: Audio recording should be regarded as 'document', admissible in court, says Sri Ram


KUALA LUMPUR: An audio recording and its transcript should be considered as documents admissible in court under Section 41A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act, the High Court was told.

Lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram, in his submission at the graft trial of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak involving RM2.28bil from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), said that the common law definition of "document" was wide enough to include recordings and transcripts.
