Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s and former treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah’s criminal breach of trust (CBT) cases will be transferred to the High Court.
Deputy public prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram said the defence team had applied for the transfer and the matter would be dealt with before High Court deputy registrar Nurliana Ismail tomorrow morning.
“We have also submitted about 80 per cent of the documents and affidavits for the defence and will hand over the remaining as soon as possible,” he said during the case mention at the Sessions Court today.
Najib’s lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah confirmed the matter and requested for the next mention in the Sessions Court to be fixed in the afternoon.
Sessions Court judge Azman Ahmad then fixed Dec 7 for mention.
On Oct 25, Najib and Irwan were charged in their capacity as Finance Minister and Treasury secretary-general with six counts of CBT involving over RM6.6 billion of government funds.
On the first and second counts, Najib, 65, and Irwan, 61, were charged with committing CBT on a RM1.2 billion and RM655 million government property which was entrusted to them with dominion over it (property).
On the third and fourth counts, they were alleged to have committed CBT of a RM220 million and RM1.3 billion properties entrusted to them with dominion over them in the Federal Consolidated Fund “Belanja Mengurus di bawah Maksud B11 Perkhidmatan Am Perbendaharaan, Aktiviti 021700 KL International Airport Bhd (KLIAB)” belonging to the government.
For the fifth and sixth charges, they were alleged with CBT of a 1,950,000,000.00 yuan (RM1.26 billion) and RM2 billion government property which was entrusted to them with dominion over them.
Najib and Irwan allegedly committed the offences at the Finance Ministry complex in Putrajaya between Dec 21, 2016, and Dec 18, 2017.
Their charges, under Section 409 of the Penal Code for CBT by a public servant or agent, carries a maximum 20 years’ imprisonment, whipping and a fine upon conviction.
The court allowed RM1 million bail in two sureties for each accused and ordered for them to surrender their international and diplomatic passports to the court.
