PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has set March 31 to give its verdict in former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s bid to review his conviction and sentence of his RM42mil SRC International Sdn Bhd case.
The decision date was confirmed by one of Najib's lawyers Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee as well as Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohd Ashrof Adrin Kamarul when contacted by Bernama.
The other four judges on the bench were Federal Court judges Datuk Vernon Ong Lam Kiat, Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang and Datuk Nordin Hassan and Court of Appeal judge Datuk Abu Bakar Jais. The former Pekan MP then filed the review application 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 Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat on Aug 23 last year in upholding his conviction, jail sentence and fine.
Justice Mohd Nazlan, who is now a Court of Appeal judge, sentenced Najib to 12 years in jail and fined him RM210mil in default of five years imprisonment and his decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal on Dec 8, 2021.
