1MDB trial: We can't control the press, says DPP


KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution in Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) trial on Friday told the High Court here that it cannot control the press on how to report on the case.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib raised the point after Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah made a complaint to Judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah on the recent articles published by various local media linked to his client.
