PUTRAJAYA, Aug 18<\/strong> — The Federal Court here today was told that all actions taken by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case were to achieve his personal desire to cause wrongful gain to himself and wrongful loss to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram submitted that there was no evidence whatsoever that the appellant (Najib) had ever acted to protect and preserve the interests of SRC, as he was legally obliged to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\"najib\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cNajib was the prime minister, finance minister and also advisor emeritus of the company. It was plain and obvious that he used all his positions to extract financial gain from the RM4 billion Retirement Fund Inc (KWAP) loan to SRC. The criminal intention of the appellant is executed by the appellant wearing different hats.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat was the appellant\u2019s plan for the billions standing frozen in a Swiss bank is anybody\u2019s guess. It was the mens rea\u00a0of the appellant in executing the criminal intent in various capacities that enabled him to commit the seven offences charged.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo artificial demarcation of the role of the appellant in various capacities should be entertained as it was his\u00a0sole intention to commit crimes in the varied roles played by him in the country\u2019s administration and in SRC,\u201d<\/em> the deputy public prosecutor (DPP) said\u00a0at the hearing of Najib\u2019s appeal against his conviction and jail sentence for the misappropriation of RM42 million in SRC International funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
