Kuala Lumpur: The prosecution and the defense in Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s
(pic) money laundering case, involving RM27 million in SRC International Sdn Bhd (SRC) funds, are seeking to postpone hearing of the case pending the outcome of the former prime minister’s appeal on the RM42 million SRC case in the Court of Appeal.
Deputy public prosecutor Mohd Ashrof Adrin Kamarul told reporters this after the case management, held in chambers before High Court Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan, Wednesday.
“The RM27 million SRC case has been set for hearing from Aug 2 to 9, but since the Court of Appeal has yet to decide on the appeal in the RM42 million SRC case, we have to apply for a postponement of the trial until the disposal of the appeal case,” he said, adding that it was necessary to postpone hearing of the RM27 million SRC case as the evidence is interrelated with the RM42 million SRC case and involves the same money trail.
