There is no real danger of judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali , who held a position in Maybank Investment Bank Bhd, being biased in the handling of the SRC International Sdn Bhd case involving Najib Razak, says Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohd Ashrof Adrin Kamarul. – Federal Court pic, June 29, 2022.
“The applicant’s allegations are nothing but a red herring to declare the SRC trial a nullity. I state that the issue of 1MDB’s acquisition of Tanjong Energy Holdings, the involvement of Maybank and justice Mohd Nazlan in this 1MDB matter, are not relevant to the facts in relation to the SRC charges faced by the applicant in the appeals.
Ashrof further said Nazlan’s role at the bank is public knowledge and known to the applicant at all material times, including during the commencement and continuance of the trial as shown by public documents and documents in the possession of the applicant.The prosecutor added there is no evidence that the judge was involved in the setup or incorporation of SRC International as 1MDB was the one that had set up the firm at that point of time.
He said 1MDB and SRC are distinct legal entities, with the latter operating separately and independently from 1MDB at all material times. On June 7, Najib filed an application to adduce further evidence related to the judge to the apex court to nullify the entire trial on the misappropriation of SRC International Sdn Bhd funds totalling RM42 million, which had found him guilty of seven charges.
