The Kuala Lumpur High Court has granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) to former premier Najib Abdul Razak over three money laundering charges involving RM27 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd.Najib’s lawyer, Shafee Abdullah, argued last week that it was unjust to keep his client in limbo without a confirmed trial date, especially since the prosecution could not specify when they would be able to compile the exhibits from the earlier SRC trial.High Court judge K Muniandy stated that the DNAA, which temporarily drops the charges, does not prejudice the prosecution as they remain free to refile charges against Najib when ready.
