Najib files application to recuse chief justice from presiding over his final appeal in 1MDB-linked case

Najib's final appeal for 1MDB-linked conviction: Court denies lead counsel’s request to discharge himself

The apex court had last week denied Mr Teh’s request to discharge himself from representing the former prime minister in his final appeal. He was found guilty on three counts of criminal breach of trust, three counts of money laundering and one count of abuse of power by the High Court in July 2020, and was sentenced to 12 years in jail and fined RM210 million.

The Federal Court had initially set aside nine days - Aug 15 to Aug 19 and Aug 23 to Aug 26 - for his appeal. This is Najib’s final bid to overturn the guilty conviction.
