KUALA LUMPUR — Both the prosecution and defence in former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s SRC International Sdn Bhd trial have submitted hundreds of pages of written submissions to the High Court.
Deputy public prosecutor Muhammad Izzat Fauzan said Najib’s lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah had prepared 643 pages of written submissions, while the prosecution submitted 306 pages.
“Both submissions were given to the court today. We also exchanged our submissions via email. May 19 was set for both parties to reply to the written submissions,” he told Bernama when contacted.
