Justice Sequerah disclosed the past connection to parties in the trial when Loo's name was brought up in the RM2.28bil 1MDB trial on Wednesday.
Justice Sequerah, who is now a Court of Appeal judge, disclosed the past connection to parties in the trial when Loo's name was brought up in the RM2.28bil 1MDB trial here on Wednesday .At the outset of the proceedings, Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah asked the prosecution team whether they would call Loo as a prosecution witness or offer her as a defence witness.
"This is our stand at the moment. Once we receive the outcome of the investigation, I will get instructions from my bosses whether to call her or not," said DPP Ahmad Akram. On July 12, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail confirmed that Loo was arrested by police on July 7 to assist in the investigation into the misappropriation of 1MDB funds.
He added that Loo, through her lawyer, was said to be willing to cooperate and assist the police investigation in the 1MDB case, according to Section 409 of the Penal Code. Najib, 70, is on trial for 25 charges in total - four for abuse of power that allegedly brought him the financial benefit to the tune of RM2.28bil; and 21 for money laundering involving the same amount of money.
