Court of Appeal judge recuses herself from hearing Najib's appeal to restore lawsuit against ex-AG Tommy Thomas

Justice Datuk Azizah Nawawi, who chaired a three-member bench, said she decided to recuse herself from hearing the appeal as her husband had previously served under Thomas during the latter's tenure between 2018 and 2020. The four cases are Najib’s trial involving 25 charges over the misappropriation of RM2.28 billion of 1Malaysia Development Berhad funds; a criminal breach of trust case involving RM6.6 billion government funds; a case involving alleged power abuse over amendments to the auditor-general’s 1MDB audit report; and a money-laundering case involving ex-1MDB subsidiary SRC International Sdn Bhd’s RM27 million funds.

On September 8, 2022, Najib dropped the Malaysian government as a defendant in the lawsuit, but continued his bid to seek RM1.9 million compensation from Thomas over the alleged wrongful prosecution.
