Tomorrow, the country’s highest court is scheduled to hear former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s appeal against his conviction and sentence for misappropriation of RM42 million of SRC International Sdn Bhd funds.
PUTRAJAYA: . It is Najib’s final appeal after a three-man bench of the Court of Appeal on Dec 8 last year upheld the Pekan MP’s conviction and sentence of 12-year jail and RM210 million fine imposed on him by then High Court Judge Datuk Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali on July 28, 2020. It is understood that the Federal Court will first hear Najib’s application to adduce new evidence in the SRC case in his bid to ultimately seek a retrial.
However, on July 28, the Federal Court in a letter rejected the postponement bid and directed that the appeal hearing starts on Aug 15 as scheduled. Najib has submitted 94 grounds in his petition of appeal on why he should be freed of the charges.
