KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) audit report tampering trial seeks to call former 1MDB CEO Arul Kanda Kandasamy to testify against former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
High Court judge Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan was informed of the matter in an oral application by lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram.
“The accused has information about transactions with the other accused , which will materially affect the outcome of the prosecution of that accused ,” Sri Ram said here yesterday. At the end of the meeting, it was agreed that four issues would be removed from the audit report, including two conflicting financial statements and fugitive financier Low Taek Jho’s presence at a 1MDB meeting despite him having no official position in the company.
Datuk N. Sivananthan, who represented Arul Kanda, told the court that the prosecution had indicated in its opening statement at the beginning of the trial its intention to call his client to testify. Justice Mohamed Zaini said it would only be right for the court to hear the basis of the application first before he could make a ruling on the matter.
