1MDB charges against Najib are 'all wrong', says lawyer Shafee


KUALA LUMPUR: The defence of Datuk Seri Najib Razak has called out the "duplicity" in the former prime minister's graft charges in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial, saying that the charges were "all wrong".

Lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said the 25 charges on abuse of power and money laundering involving RM2.28bil from 1MDB's funds would be taking the better part of the defence's submissions at the end of the prosecution's case.
