PUTRAJAYA, Aug 19<\/strong> — The prosecution in Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak\u2019s SRC International Sdn Bhd appeal will\u00a0continue with its oral submission\u00a0at the Federal Court today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V.Sithambaram will present his submission at 9.30 am before a five-member bench led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, the court\u00a0dismissed lawyer Hisyam Teh Poh Teik\u2019s application to recuse himself from representing Najib\u00a0and ordered\u00a0the prosecution to submit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 28, 2020, the then High Court Judge Datuk Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali,  who is now a Court of Appeal judge, sentenced Najib to 10 years’ jail on each of the three counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT) and each of the three counts of money laundering, and 12 years’ jail and a RM210 million fine, in default five years’ jail, in the case of abuse of position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year,  the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court’s decision and dismissed Najib\u2019s appeal to set aside his conviction and jail sentence as well as the fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
