High Court deputy registrar Mahyudin Mohd Som fixed Feb 18-20, March 4-5, 9-11, 31, and April 1-2, 7-8, 2020 as new trial dates for Tengku Adnan, who is better known as Ku Nan.

Shafee, who was speaking to reporters at the Kuala Lumpur Courts Complex here today, said he is confident that regardless of how the case is decided along the process, the matter will eventually reach the Federal Court.

Najib, upon hearing the judgement, was shocked by the decision as well, the lawyer said, as the former premier had also expected to be acquitted on all seven charges.

Shahrol testified that 1MDB had in 2011 engaged the services of KPMG and Deloitte to mitigate risks to its investment in the Murabaha deal with PSI.

He said of the total, 1MDB had recovered "hundreds of millions" but could not confirm the exact amount.

According to Former 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) chief executive officer Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi, the plan was for 1MDB to raise RM5 billion and RM10 billion through bridging loan facilities for TRX — at the time known as the Kuala Lumpur International Financial District (KLIFD) — and Bandar Malaysia, where the old Sungai Besi military airport was located, respectively.

"Only three of us have this picture. I hope it doesn't go into the internet for Halloween purposes," Shafee told Justice Sequerah.

"... former 1MDB executive director Casey Tang Keng Chee was "1MDB Officer 1" in the DoJ's report."

This follows what the former premier had said in a meeting that he does not want to destroy the country.

The defence's argument is basically the authenticity of the documents is being questioned, and the court should not admit them.
