Will the Federal Court agree with NajibRazak on judges’ conflict of interests?
A five-member panel of the apex court is set to rule Friday whether the apex court will review its decision affirming Najib Razak’s conviction and sentence in the SRC International corruption case. Najib was tried in the High Court by Justice Nazlan Ghazali on seven counts of abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering involving RM42 million in funds belonging to SRC.On July 28, 2020, Nazlan convicted and sentenced him to 12 years’ imprisonment and a fine of RM210 million.
17 billion extended to 1MDB for the acquisition of Tanjong Energy. As a result, they said, the judge was a potential witness in the case. Nazlan’s “non-disclosure” of his “special knowledge and involvement in transactions and events” affecting the SRC case has deprived Najib of his right to challenge Nazlan’s impartiality as trial judge, they said.
