[KiniNews] The alleged fresh evidence in the RM42 million SRC International corruption case was kept from Najib Abdul Razak, the apex court heard.

The former prime minister’s lead defence counsel Hisyam Teh Poh Teik submitted that the evidence relating to trial judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali’s purported conflict of interest
was not made available to them during the criminal trial.

Meanwhile, deputy public prosecutor V Sithambaram submitted that the Federal Court should reject the bid as Najib's supporting affidavits are all based on hearsay evidence.

Under the law, hearsay is the report of another person's words by a witness, which a court would usually disallow as evidence during a trial.

In the event the apex court dismisses the new evidence bid, it will proceed to hear Najib’s main SRC appeal that seeks to quash his conviction for one count of abuse of power, three counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT), and three money laundering counts involving RM42 million of funds from SRC.
