NSTnation Najib files 11th hour motion to postpone joint trial with Arul Kanda Najib 1MDB Trial Arul postpone
This time, the former prime minster will be jointly tried with former 1Malaysia Development Berhad chief executive officer Arul Kanda Kandasamy for allegedly tampering with the sovereign wealth fund’s final audit report.
He said he would suffer prejudice if the trial was not postponed as he needed time to prepare his defence for the SRC International Sdn Bhd trial, slated to begin Dec 3.“The commencement of the PAC case trial in Nov 2019 would deprive me and my legal team the opportunity of adequately and effectively preparing my defence case,” he said in his affidavit in support of the motion.
He had also in his affidavit said a short adjournment was necessary in order to guarantee his right to a fair trial. He allegedly abetted Najib, 66, in using the latter’s position as then-Prime Minister to order amendments to the report.
