#KiniNews: ‘Conflict of interest’ - Najib seeks to nullify SRC trial

[KiniNews] Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak has filed an application to add further evidence in the Federal Court today, which is intended to seek the nullification of the SRC International Bhd trial at the Kuala Lumpur High Court.

His lawyer Mohamed Shafee Abdullah said this comes after they recently discovered that Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, who was the High Court trial judge in the SRC International case, had several conflicts of interest in the matter.

“The further evidence sought to be adduced relates to the recent discovery that the trial judge in the SRC case, Nazlan, was in 2006 the general counsel and company secretary for the Maybank Group who had the ultimate responsibility for the management and administration of all legal departments within the entire group,” Shafee said in a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur court complex this evening.

This is relevant, he said, because they have recently discovered that Maybank Investment Bank Bhd was the body that proposed the establishment of SRC International.
