Najib arriving in court yesterday.
PUTRAJAYA: The three judges hearing Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s appeal to overturn his 12 year jail sentence and RM210 million fine for abuse of SRC International Sdn Bhd funds were enlightened on the overwhelming evidence which had led to the former prime minister’s conviction.
Lead prosecutor Datuk V Sithambaram explained to the judges how Kuala Lumpur High Court Judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali had weighed all the evidence and wrote a phenomenal judgement on Najib’s guilt.
He said the court should not interfere with the findings of fact made by Justice Nazlan, who convicted Najib of all seven counts of abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering involving RM42 million of SRC funds.
