Datuk Seri Najib Razak speaks to lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah at the court of appeal in Putrajaya March 15, 2019. — Picture by Shafwan Zaidon
Najib had appealed against Mohd Nazlan’s February 7 decision to allow the attorney-general’s withdrawal of certificates to transfer the case from the Sessions Court to the High Court, as well as the judge’s decision to transfer the case from the Sessions Court back to himself as a judge in the High Court.
Alternatively, Shafee said the Court of Appeal could order for a discharge not amounting to acquittal of Najib of his seven charges, before charging him again in the Sessions Court over the same offences and then following the correct procedure to have it transferred to the High Court.
“These are very serious issues. It is not about this case. It’s about the future of the criminal justice system,” he said. Shafee explained to the court that Najib had intended to not disrupt the court proceedings, later telling reporters that Najib was unaware that he could not leave the courtroom without notifying the judges.
The hearing today stopped at around 12.30pm, as all parties involved including the attorney-general and Najib, as well as the judges already had other matters scheduled in the afternoon.
