KUALA LUMPUR: An audio recording supposedly between Datuk Seri Najib Razak and an Arab leader and its transcript should be considered as documents admissible in court, the High Court heard.

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