Najib and Mohd Irwan are jointly facing six charges of criminal breach of trust involving RM6.64 billion of government funds for payments to IPIC.

This is even after Sime Darby Plantation had applied for a judicial review.

Today's application was to ensure that Semantan Estates' application is not frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of the court process.

Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali fixed the date after Deputy Public Prosecutor Allan Suman Pillai told the court that the prosecution has finished submitting all documents related to the case to Mohd Isa's defence team and suggested that a mention date be fixed a month before the scheduled trial date, which is set to begin on Oct 7.

“Our clients have the right to remain silent and the privilege of self-incrimination," Rosmah's counsels argued. 

Amirah, the 34th prosecution witness, insisted that she had willingly said in her statement that the two RM2 billion loans to SRC was amongst the largest she had seen during her tenure in KWAP. "I wanted to put this," she said, before Harvinderjit ended his cross-examination.

Halijah verified a total of 16 transactions involving the above-mentioned parties over eight days — in July, August, December 2014, and January 2015.

 

Maybank KL Main branch assistant manager Halijah Abdul Wahab will today be cross-examined by Datuk Seri Najib Razak's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah.

The forfeiture action is against assets said to be from funds illegally gained from 1MDB. 

This is in relation to jewellery, cash, handbags and luxury vehicles said to have been bought using 1MDB funds.
