NSTnation “I can assure you I will not be pressing him (Shahrol) to give evidence until he completes his testimony in 1MDB’s case' Najib 1MDB Trial Court
This time, the former Prime Minster will be jointly tried with former 1Malaysia Development Berhad chief executive officer Arul Kanda Kandasamy for allegedly tampering with the sovereign wealth fund’s final audit report.
Deputy public prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram – who is leading the prosecution team – had asked for the postponement, as their key prosecution witness is currently testifying under cross-examination in Najib’s ongoing criminal hearing involving the misappropriation of RM2.28 billion of 1MDB funds.
Commenting on this, Zaini said the prosecution can always call another witness to give evidence while waiting for Shahrol to finish his testimony. He allegedly abetted Najib, 66, in using the latter’s position as then-Prime Minister to order the amendment to the report.
