‘Charges against Najib not defective’


KUALA LUMPUR: Investigators had asked the Singapore government for several important documents before bringing charges against former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and the charges were therefore not defective, a witness told the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial.

Najib’s lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, when cross-examing Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Senior Supt Nur Aida Arifin, 37, suggested that the charges were flawed because many of the documents received via the Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) from Singapore were obtained only after Najib was charged.
