Najib

Lawyers for the former leader are seeking to have the case thrown out on the grounds that a trial judge had a conflict of interest.

Since then, the 69-year-old Najib has been open about his ambition of running again for elected office, and a large part of his response to the 1MDB accusations has been to mobilize his ethnic Malay political base and paint the charges as a political plot. The Federal Court has blocked out nine days of hearings for Najib’s appeal. In July 2020, the former leader was sentenced to 12 years in prison and fined $50 million after being found guilty on charges including criminal breach of trust, abuse of power, and money laundering.

Najib in his affidavit said the fact that Mohd Nazlan knew of his personal involvement in the setting up of SRC International but concealed it to the defence amounts to a conflict of interest that has led to a real danger of bias. In his supporting affidavit, Najib said the evidence he sought to adduce was not made available to him at trial, adding that the evidence was relevant to the issues before the High Court and Court of Appeal and thus would be relevant to his appeals that would be adjudicated in the Federal Court. He said information of Mohd Nazlan’s previous appointment with Maybank Group became the centre of attention in August 2018, before the commencement of the trial, when the news that Mohd Nazlan was to preside over the trial was being widely reported in the media.

Najib, who was represented by the law firm of Muhammad Shafee Abdullah since the first 1MDB charges were filed four years ago, appointed a new legal team to handle the appeal on July 26. If the new evidence is allowed, the conviction will be dismissed and he will face retrial on the charges.

Should Najib fail in this application, his appeal proper will commence before the court. It is Najib’s contention that Nazlan — who sentenced him to 12 years jail and a RM210 million fine at the High Court stage of the SRC International trial — had a conflict of interest in hearing the case. Earlier in the day, Hisyam had argued that during Nazlan’s tenure as general counsel and company secretary of Maybank from 2006 to 2015, the bank had given the RM140 million loan to PPD — where SRC was a beneficiary — as well as the RM4.17 billion loan to 1MDB for the acquisition of Tanjong Energy.

Should Najib fail in this application, his appeal proper will commence before the court. "The court need not go into the merits of Najib's application. In addition, Najib must prove he has knowledge to what is affirmed but here, he has not shown that," Sithambaram added. Besides this, the defence is seeking evidence from former 1MDB chief executive officer Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi, and Rosli Hussain, the SRC investigating officer for the MACC. This is fundamental law," he added. Najib is seeking to adduce fresh evidence in the trial by calling five witnesses to be freshly examined and cross-examined.

While Najib's appeal is scheduled to run until Aug 26, the outcome is expected to be made known only at a later date, as the court usually sets another date to deliver a decision. The defence sought to cast doubt on Justice Nazlan's credibility, saying that the verdict was compromised by his prior employment at Maybank, one of Malaysia's largest lenders.

On Jul 28, 2020, the High Court found Najib Razak guilty of misappropriating funds from SRC International, a former subsidiary of 1MDB.

This is his final bid to overturn the guilty conviction. Najib later filed a petition of appeal to the Federal Court on Apr 25 this year.
