KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution in Najib Razak’s corruption and abuse of power trial today urged the High Court to admit all documentary evidence in order for it to prove its case.

“The legal position is that the Evidence Act, which is a general law, should give way to the specific legislation under which the accused is charged,” he said in his submission at the close of the prosecution’s case. The prosecution had sought to prove its case by way of oral, circumstantial and documentary evidence. However, it has been unable to locate several witnesses despite attempts by the police and MACC.

“After the report was published, the matter become public. The MACC, police, Attorney-General’s Chambers and Bank Negara Malaysia began investigating his accounts on July 6, 2015. The prosecution said the RM42 million was deposited in Najib’s accounts in three transactions between December 2014 and February 2015.
