PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has fixed May 26 for another case management for the prosecution's appeal against the acquittal of Datuk Seri Najib Razak and former 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) chief executive officer Arul Kanda Kandasamy in relation to 1MDB audit tampering case.

Arul Kanda's lawyer Jasmine Cheong, when contacted, confirmed that another case management date was fixed as the records of appeal were not ready.

Apart from Cheong, lawyer Alaistair Norman representing Najib and deputy public prosecutor Parvin Hameedah Natchiar appearing for the prosecution were also present. In his grounds of judgment, Justice Mohamed Zaini said he had given a maximum evaluation at the end of the prosecution’s case and found no evidence to suggest or prove that Najib explicitly directed the amendments made to exonerate him from any civil or criminal liability.

Najib, 70, who is currently serving a 12-year jail sentence in Kajang prison for misappropriating SRC International Sdn Bhd’s funds, was charged with using his position to order amendments to the 1MDB final audit report before it was presented to the Public Accounts Committee to avoid any action being taken against him.
