---

 



The Attorney-General's Chambers is still examining the investigation papers submitted by MACC on its probe against Court of Appeal judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali.
Attorney-General Idrus Harun (above) said a decision on the case will only be made after the AGC has completed "perusing" the investigation findings.
"We are perusing the investigation paper before we make our decision," he said via a text message today.
Malaysiakini had contacted Idrus to seek his comments on whether the AGC was satisfied with the investigation, which was concluded last Wednesday, and if they have made a decision.
Nazlan, when he was a High Court judge in 2020, sentenced former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak to 12 years in prison and a RM210 million fine for corruption, abuse of power and money laundering.
He had since been promoted to the Court of Appeal in February this year.
Court of Appeal judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd GhazaliNazlan was recently accused by a blogger of allegedly having "unexplained wealth", which led to the MACC opening an investigation against the judge.
He had also lodged a police report over the article published by Malaysia Today.
The MACC said it had launched the probe against Nazlan as a matter of procedure after a report was lodged against the judge.
In a statement on Monday, the anti-graft agency said it had completed the probe last Wednesday and was awaiting further instructions from the AGC.
Malaysiakini has sent a request to seek Nazlan's comments through the judiciary media relations office. - Mkini
