1MDB trial: Najib fails in latest attempt to remove Sri Ram


KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Court has dismissed an appeal by former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in yet another attempt to disqualify Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram from prosecuting his 1Malaysia Development Bhd-related criminal trial.

In the unanimous decision, Justice Vernon Ong Lam Kiat, who chaired a three-judge panel, ruled that there was no real danger of bias in the complaint, as argued by Najib's defence team.
