PUTRAJAYA: The acquittal of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and 1MDB former CEO Arul Kanda Kandasamy for the alleged tampering of the auditor-general’s audit report on 1MDB will remain as the prosecution failed to meet the deadline to continue the appeal against the duo’s acquittal.
The Court of Appeal said the decision to stike out the appeal was made since the prosecution did not file the required papers within the deadline to continue the trial and also due to its failure to file an application to extend the deadline, which was on July 6, 2023.
