Najib files to adduce new evidence on Zeti ahead of SRC appeal verdict

Days before the Court of Appeal is set to deliver its verdict on Najib Abdul Razak’s appeal in the RM42 million SRC International graft case, the former premier is seeking to tender new evidence to support his defence.

Through a Notice of Motion filed at the Court of Appeal, Najib is seeking to adduce the viva voce evidence of MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki, the graft buster’s investigating officer Rosli Hussein and several other witnesses.

The Court of Appeal has fixed Dec 8 to deliver its decision on Najib’s appeal to quash the High Court's guilty verdict as well as the 12-year jail term and RM210 million fine in the SRC corruption case.
