Breaking- Najib guilty of abuse of power charge

  • 4 years ago
Judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali rules that the defence failed to rebut presumptions based on the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 on the balance of probability and failed to raise reasonable doubt on the charge under Section 23(1) of the law.

The judge is now making a ruling on the three criminal breach of trust charges.

Mohd Nazlan rules that "totality of evidence" shows accused knew of transactions into the three AmBank Islamic accounts but "deliberately" kept from public disclosure.

The accused's conduct "at all times" was undertaken to ensure sufficient funds were in the accounts before spending it.

The judge rules that the "fact remains" that Jho Low and the accused's principal private secretary at the time Azlin Alias were in contact with the accused on the bank account.

"The inference is overwhelming," rules the judge.
