"If they keep asking for documents to check whether they are relevant or admissible, this is set to be a long trial,” he adds.Najib's lead defence lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah then chimes in, saying it is up to the courts to decide whether to allow the bid or not. "Furthermore, at the end of the day, it is also for the protection of the accused," he says, adding that this may affect the other trials faced by Najib later.
He says that the teams were headed by investigation officer Azizul and two others, who went to the bank that day. The bank documents in question show transactions ranging between RM5 million and RM40 million having taken place between Dec 2014 and Feb 2015. During re-examination by DPP Suhaimi Ibrahim, Azizul says the nature of the suspected offence, as seen from the seized bank documents, made him categorise the suspected offence under Section 4.
