Najib fails in final appeal to postpone 1MDB trial

The five-member bench led by Chief Justice Datuk Seri Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, in a unanimous decision, dismissed Najib's appeal here Tuesday .

Meanwhile, the CJ struck out the prosecution's appeal to postpone Najib's 1MDB trial, also known as Tanore trial, after Attorney General Tommy Thomas informed the court that the prosecution was withdrawing its appeal as it served no practical purpose. He said the 1MDB trial could only begin on Aug 28, that is, 14 days after the witnesses’ statements had been given to the defence as required under Section 402B of the CPC.

“Even if prosecution cannot close on Aug 16, the spillover the following week will only be for a few days, ” said Thomas. He said Najib has the same defence team for the cases and parties would not be able to complete the SRC trial by Friday . The prosecution had applied at the High Court for the trial to be postponed pending disposal of Najib’s SRC International Sdn Bhd case.
