Najib's 1MDB charge defective, court told

KUALA LUMPUR: There has never been evidence that showed former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was at AmIslamic Bank Bhd to commit the crime he is accused of, the High Court here was told.

Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah submitted that the prosecution never showed evidence that the former Pekan MP was present at the bank in Jalan Raja Chulan anywhere between Feb 24 and June 14, 2011 to abuse his official position.
