KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s trial at the High Court here over the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) fund scandal and his appeal relating to SRC International Sdn Bhd case at the Court of Appeal has been deferred as one of his key lawyers was under quarantine for COVID-19.
The matter was confirmed by lawyer Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee via a What’s app message to reporters today.
“Both cases (SRC and 1MDB) had to be vacated this week because a key member of our team has to undergo testing and quarantine due to a significant close contact to a number of confirmed COVID-19 patients.
