[KiniNews] The Federal Court is set to decide tomorrow on Najib Abdul Razak’s application to review the former prime minister’s conviction and sentencing in the RM42 million SRC International corruption case.
The decision of the five-person bench chaired by Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Abdul Rahman Sebli could result in the complete acquittal of Najib, also a former finance minister, on seven charges of abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering.
In the event that the apex court does not dismiss the review bid, it could also either order for a retrial of Najib’s case before a new High Court judge, other than Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, or for a rehearing of his appeal before a fresh Federal Court bench not led by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat.
