Three Witnesses Expected To Testify On First Day Of Najib S Corruption Trial



KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Three witnesses are expected to testify when the prosecution led by Attorney-General Tommy Thomas commences its case against Datuk Seri Najib Razak over SRC International Sdn Bhd funds on Wednesday (April 3)
The trial was set following the decision by the Federal Court to lift the stay order on proceedings granted by the Court of Appeal to Najib which he filed on Feb 8, to temporarily stall the trial pending disposal of his appeals over certain interlocutory matters
Chief Justice Tan Sri Richard Malanjum, who led the Federal Court's seven-man panel, said the Court of Appeal did not have the jurisdiction to do so and ordered the High Court to set the trial date
The trial of the SRC case was initially slated to be held from Feb 12 to March 29 but was put on hold twice after the Court of Appeal on Feb 11 and March 21 granted a stay of proceedings pending related appeals
According to sources from the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC), the prosecution would start the case with an opening statement by Thomas
"After that, the first witness will be called to testify. We have three witnesses on standby, but it depends on how the trial goes on that day
"We have also prepared witness statements and after the witnesses read out their statements, the defence will cross-examine them," sources said
According to sources, the three witnesses comprise government officers and bankers who were subpoenaed by the prosecution team last Friday (March 29)
"The prosecution has prepared more than 60 witnesses to take the stand in the trial," sources said

On the fourth count, Najib was charged with, being a public official, namely the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of Malaysia, using his position to commit bribery involving RM42mil when he participated or was involved in a decision on behalf of the Malaysian government to provide government guarantees for loans from the Retirement Fund Incorporated to SRC International amounting to RM4bil
He is alleged to have committed the crime at the Prime Minister's Office, Precinct 1, Putrajaya, Federal Territory of Putrajaya, between Aug 17, 2011, and Feb 8, 2012
The charge, framed under Section 23 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and punishable under Section 24 of the same Act, provides for a jail term of up to 20 years and a fine of not less than five times the amount or value of the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher, if convicted
On Aug 8, 2018, the former prime minister pleaded not guilty to three charges of having received the same money of RM42mil in proceeds from unlawful activities into two of his accounts four years ago, belonging to SRC International Sdn Bhd
On the three charges, Najib is alleged to have received RM27mil, RM5mil and RM10mil, respectively, which were proceeds from unlawful activities, via Real Time Electronic Transfer of Funds and Securities (Rentas) into two AmIslamic Bank Berhad accounts of his bearing the numbers 2112022011880 and 2112022011906
He is alleged to have committed the offences at AmIslamic Bank Berhad, AmBank Group Building, No. 55, Jalan Raja Chulan, here, between Dec 26, 2014, and Feb 10, 2015
The charges were filed under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 which provides for the penalty under Section 4(1) of the same Act
The trial will be held before Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali
