KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 20 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s civil lawsuit seeking RM1.9 million in compensation from the Malaysian government and former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas for alleged abuse was not meant to be a “rehash” of his criminal trials, his lawyer said today.
“This suit isn’t a rehash of the criminal proceedings. Not one bit. It’s not an attempt to acquit Datuk Seri Najib in the civil courts. The four cases include an ongoing trial where Najib is facing 21 money-laundering charges and four power abuse charges involving more than RM2 billion of 1Malaysia Development Berhad funds, and an ongoing power abuse trial over alleged instructions given to amend the Auditor-General’s 1MDB audit report before it was presented to Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee.
The four trials do not include the trial where Najib was convicted in the High Court and where his conviction was upheld by the Court of Appeal over the misappropriation of SRC’s RM42 million.
