With the Federal Court denying a final appeal by Najib to vacate his 1MDB trial from Monday next week, the SRC International proceedings before Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali may acquire a certain sense of urgency
With Attorney-General Tommy Thomas himself reportedly saying yesterday that the prosecution will close its case in Najib's SRC International trial by Friday this week, all eyes will be on the pace of the prosecution's examination-in-chief, the defence's cross-examination, and the prosecution's re-examination of Rosli
This is particularly when one takes into account the 1MDB trial before Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah, which is initially set to run for four days from Monday to Thursday next week
Rosli had so far given revealing oral evidence on matters such as fugitive businessperson Jho Low and SRC International CEO Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil being last seen in Malaysia on May 29, 2015 and May 7, 2018 respectively
In addition, the court learned that Interpol Red Notices were issued against both men, who were thought to be either in China, its special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau, Thailand, Indonesia, or Myanmar
