00:00 Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Senior Superintendent Nur Aida Arifin on Friday denied

00:06 that the charges brought against former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in his 1MDB

00:12 graft trial were defective.

00:14 The prosecution witness told the Kuala Lumpur High Court that most of the documents via

00:19 the mutual legal assistance from Singapore were obtained before the charges were brought

00:24 against Najib, as opposed to what was claimed by the defence team.

00:28 Najib's lawyer, Tan Sri Mohamed Shafi Abdullah, had suggested that the charges were flawed

00:33 because a significant portion of MLA documents were gathered only after Najib was charged

00:39 in court.

00:40 Nur Aida said the deputy public prosecutor would handle different sets of MLA documents

00:45 from various places such as Hong Kong, Switzerland and Singapore.

00:50 She said she was not involved when the deputy public prosecutor received the relevant documents

00:55 from abroad.

00:56 Najib is facing four charges of using his position to obtain bribes amounting to 2.3

01:02 billion ringgit from 1MDB funds and 21 charges of money laundering involving the same amount.
