Shafee on MC, judge highlights 1MDB trial delays
  • 2 years ago
A judge has reminded the prosecution and defence that the Kuala Lumpur High Court has a commitment to wrap up the RM2.28 billion 1MDB corruption trial against former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak.

Collin Lawrence Sequerah today told parties that the trial, which began in 2019, has been stretched for a long time.

The trial judge said this when allowing the defence team’s application to adjourn the trial this afternoon due to Najib’s lead counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah being on medical leave (MC).
