- Speaking to reporters outside the courtroom Najib’s lead defence counsel Shafee says they needed the evidence seized from Ambank’s relationship manager Yu to prove that the former premier has no knowledge of the purported wrongdoing that he was charged with.
Harvinderjit tells the court that the defence needs the emails and Blackberry phone that Farhan seized from Ambank's relationship manager Yu, which may contain conversations between her and Low as well as several individuals linked to the case. However, Nazlan allows the witness time to look through what seized evidence he may in his safekeeping.
He says the attempt by Najib's defence counsel Harvinderjit to compel former Bank Negara investigation officer Farhan to bring out the documents goes against Section 51 of the Evidence Act 1950."What they are doing is a fishing expedition. We need proper procedure ,” Sithambaram says. He tells judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali that Harvinderjit's cross-examination of the Bank Negara investigation officer verged on affecting the testimony’s admissibility and relevance.
The former Bank Negara Financial Intelligence and Enforcement Department investigation officer testifies there were three Bank Negara teams that raided Ambank’s Raja Chulan branch on July 6, 2015. Earlier during the examination-in-chief, Farhan had confirmed receiving the bank documents seized from Ambank by the raiding officer Azizul, among others.- Farhan testifies that he had handed over seized Ambank documents on Najib, SRC International and Gandingan Mentari to the MACC on May 30, 2018.
Azizul, who is a Bank Negara investigation officer, had lodged the police report a day after the raid was conducted. He tells the judge that DPP Suhaimi's line of re-examination is undermining his own cross-examination of the witness. Also coming into the courtroom is the accused's lead counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah and the rest of the defence team, who take their seats at the front.
The fourth day of the criminal trial of former premier Najib Abdul Razak involving RM42 million of SRC International Sdn Bhd’s funds is set to start at the Kuala Lumpur High Court at 9am today. If convicted, the Pekan MP can be sentenced up to 20 years in jail, whipping and fine for the CBT charges; a maximum 20 years' in jail and a fine not less than five times the amount of bribe involved or RM10,000, whichever is higher, for the abuse of position charge; and jail time not exceeding 15 years, and a fine up to RM15 million or five times the amount involved, whichever is higher, for the money laundering charges.
Hahaha...shit hitting the ceiling now...
Najib is a world class kleptomaniac. Marcos ex-President of the Philippines would kow tow to Najib. This low life thief is the lowest of the low!
This should be interesting. Hope the contents of the 'conversations' will be publicly available for reading by tomorrow.
This is getting interesting. But how come the Court does not want to ask Joanna Yu Ging Ping to tell the Court about her conversations with Jho Low?
