Will Najib's 1MDB trial start next week? - Court decides tomorrow

  • 5 years ago
The Kuala Lumpur High Court will decide tomorrow whether the 1MDB criminal trial against former premier Najib Abdul Razak can start next week.

This comes as Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah this morning ordered counsels from both the prosecution and defence to update him on the progress of the SRC International trial at 4.30pm tomorrow.

In giving the order, Sequerah had listened earlier to both parties during 1MDB case management this morning on whether the trial can proceed on Aug 26.

The judge had earlier this week adjourned the trial, which was scheduled to start on Aug 21, to next Monday.
