Najib can seek acquittal if RM27mil SRC case fails to proceed in September, says judge

KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak can argue to have his money laundering case involving RM27mil of SRC International Sdn Bhd funds dropped if the prosecution is not prepared to proceed with the trial this September, the High Court said.

Justice K. Muniandy said the defence could apply for a discharge and acquittal (DAA) or a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) if the hearing of the case was still not taking place.
