: The High Court here today allowed the prosecution’s application to amend three charges involving power abuse and money laundering in Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak’s 1Malaysia Development Berhad case.
“The amendments are to be made pursuant to evidence led by the prosecution witnesses, Bank Negara Malaysia analyst Adam Ariff Mohd Roslan and Assistant Director of the Anti-Money Laundering Criminal Investigation Division ACP Foo Wei Min . The prosecution was well within its right to amend the charges before it closes its case,“ he added.
Following the decision, the court then ordered the three amended charges to be read out to Najib and the former prime minister affirmed his plea of not guilty to all the charges. For the power abuse charge, the prosecution wanted to amend the amount from RM49.9 million to RM44.6 million, while for the money laundering charges, the prosecution wanted to amend the 10th charge which Najib was accused of committing by transferring money from unlawful activities, by reducing the amount involved from RM652.6 million to RM515.7 million.
