Sequerah noted that the documents that Najib wanted to be disclosed is not based on hearsay, as such materials do exist and had been received by the MACC from Justo. “I do not find anything to substantiate that public interest will suffer from such disclosure,” the judge said. “I also find sufficient basis that material sought for are relevant to the defence,” he said when reading the brief reasons for his decision after over an hour of hearing arguments from both sides.
Lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram said he was told that the pendrive contains about 17,000 documents from Justo, adding that he intends to pass Najib’s lawyers the entire pendrive if the prosecution does not appeal.
