Najib’s charges amended

KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution has succeeded in its application to amend three charges involving power abuse and money laundering in Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1Malaysia Development Bhd case.

“The amendments are to be made pursuant to evidence led by the prosecution witnesses Bank Negara Malaysia analyst Adam Ariff Mohd Roslan and the Anti-Money Laundering Criminal Investigation Division assistant director Asst Comm Foo Wei Min . “In the course of the evidence of these two witnesses, it emerged that certain amounts of money were from unknown sources and therefore cannot be set with certainty to be unlawful proceeds with reference to the fourth predicate charge,” said the judge.

On Oct 24, the prosecution told the High Court that it wished to amend one of Najib’s four power abuse charges and two of his 21 money laundering charges, following the recent testimonies of Adam Ariff and ACP Foo.For the money laundering charges, the prosecution wanted to amend the 10th charge which Najib was accused of committing by transferring money from unlawful activities, by reducing the amount involved from RM652.6mil to RM515.7mil.
