Appeal against Najib and Arul Kanda thrown out after prosecution goofs

Former premier Najib Abdul Razak and 1MDB former CEO Arul Kanda Kandasamy remain acquitted of charges of abuse of power involving alleged tampering with the 1MDB audit report.

This follows a Court of Appeal decision this morning to strike out the prosecution’s move to initiate an appeal against the duo's acquittals after the prosecution had failed to file their petition of appeals within the time required by law.
