AGC rejects Najib's representation in RM27 million SRC case

KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) has rejected former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's representation to drop three additional money laundering charges involving RM27 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd funds.
The matter was informed by deputy public prosecutor Mohd Ashrof Adrin Kamarul when the case came up for mention before High Court Judge K.Muniandy.
'My Lord, I'm here to to inform the court that the representation has been rejected and the prosecution is going to proceed with the trial. My instructions are to inform the court of the matter and to seek trial dates,' he said.
At the same time, the prosecutor asked the court for a longer time as he needed more time to obtain documents as well as to prepare witness statements.
On Feb 3, 2019, Najib claimed trial to three charges of money laundering by accepting illegal proceeds amounting to RM27 million through his three AmPrivate Banking accounts at AmIslamic Bank Berhad, AmBank Group Building, Jalan Raja Chulan on July 8, 2014.

Najib's RM27mil case to go on

KUALA LUMPUR, 11 Jun -- Bekas Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak (tengah) ketika hadir ke Kompleks Mahkamah Kuala Lumpur hari ini. Jabatan Peguam Negara (AGC) menolak representasi yang dikemukakan oleh bekas Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak bagi menggugurkan tiga lagi pertuduhan pengubahan wang haram membabitkan RM27 juta dana SRC International Sdn Bhd. Perkara itu dimaklumkan oleh Timbalan Pendakwa Raya Mohd Ashrof Adrin Kamarul ketika kes berkenaan disebut di hadapan Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi K. Muniandy hari ini. --fotoBERNAMA (2025) HAK CIPTA TERPELIHARA KUALA LUMPUR: The RM27mil money laundering case involving Datuk Seri Najib Razak and SRC International Sdn Bhd will go on now that the Attorney General's Chambers has rejected the former prime minister's plea to review the charges. During case management yesterday, deputy public prosecutor Mohd Ashroff Adrin Kamarul informed Justice K. Muniandy that the AGC had rejected the former Pekan MP's representation. He said the prosecution was ready to proceed with the trial but sought a later hearing date to sort out the documents in the case. 'There are 807 exhibits tendered in the previous SRC International trial. 'Many of the exhibits in that trial are required in this trial and that will require a bit of time. We humbly seek a longer trial date,' he said. Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, in his reply, urged the court to grant a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) due to the prolonged delay in the case. A DNAA means a person is discharged from the charges without being acquitted and could face future prosecution for the same offence. Justice Muniandy then fixed June 20 to deliver his decision on whether to set trial dates or grant a DNAA. On Feb 3, 2019, Najib claimed trial to three charges of money laundering by accepting proceeds from unlawful activities amounting to RM27mil through his three AmPrivate Banking accounts at AmIslamic Bank Berhad, AmBank Group Building, Jalan Raja Chulan on July 8, 2014, under Section 4(1)(a) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001. He faces a maximum fine of RM5mil or imprisonment of up to five years, or both, if convicted.

Teoh's family slams ex-boss' silence on NFA decision

The family of Teoh Beng Hock has condemned former Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah for his continued silence over the Attorney-General's Chambers'(AGC) decision to classify Beng Hock's case as no further action.
