Mar 31 verdict for Najib’s bid to review SRC conviction
Disgraced former prime minister Najib Razak will learn on March 31 whether there was an error in denying his defence team extra time to prepare for his final appeal against his SRC International conviction at Federal Court last year. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, March 13, 2023.
The date was confirmed by Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee, a member of Najib’s defence team, as well as deputy public prosecutor Mohd Ashrof Adrin Kamarul. Throughout the six-day hearing, Shafee argued that the Federal Court bench hearing Najib’s appeal had made a fundamental error in law by not allowing the adjournment of the trial and not allowing Najib’s former counsel Hisyam Teh to discharge himself.
On August 23, 2022, Najib began a 12-year prison sentence after losing his final appeal against his conviction on multiple counts of abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering for the misappropriation of SRC International funds.The former Pekan MP then filed for review under rule 137 of the Rules of the Federal Court 1995, in a bid to overturn the decision made by the five-member bench of the Federal Court led by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat.
