Najib told MACC of millions of ringgit kept as contingency after GE13 to prevent Sept 2008 Pakatan Rakyat takeover repeat, witness says in 1MDB trialFormer prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is pictured at the Kuala Lumpur High Court May 30, 2024.
“It was a challenge to follow due to the time taken,” Sequerah remarked briefly after the prosecutors told the High Court that the prosecution is formally closing its case after 235 days of hearing.Earlier, the defence led by Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah completed its cross-examination of the 39th witness, former group managing director of AmBank Cheah Tek Kuang.
Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib then told the court there were no more witnesses to be called after calling 50 witnesses to present its case.Sequerah also instructed the parties to file their written submissions by July 26, and to put in their replies by August 8.After that, Sequerah will have to rule whether the prosecution has proven a prima facie case, and if so, will call for Najib to enter his defence or grant an acquittal.
While the prosecution has been producing bankers and multiple bank documents as part of its efforts to prove its case against Najib to show that billions of ringgit had flowed into his accounts, Najib’s lawyers have been trying to put forth the narrative — including through the letters from the purported Saudi prince — that the money were actually donated gifts from Saudi royalty.
