KUALA LUMPUR: The defence in the SRC International Sdn Bhd trial may ask former attorney general (AG) Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali to testify.

This was mentioned by former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak during cross-examination by lead prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram here on Thursday when asked about Apandi's appointment as the AG in July 2015.

Sithambaram: I put it to you, despite the statement by the then AG, you abused your position as finance minister and prime minister by taking part in the decision to provide the two government guarantees.Sithambaram: From the bank statements and all the evidence, it is clear evidence that RM42mil from SRC had gone into your account with your knowledge.Najib: We are considering the matter.

Najib's lawyer Harvinderjit Singh said the defence would also call their own expert in the week of Feb 10 over the Pekan MP's signatures on 13 disputed documents. "The week of Feb 10 is the only arrangement that could be done. I do not foresee much delay on the trial. Examination will take only two days. A report is expected to be ready in a week after the analysis," he said.Of the 13 documents, 11 are marked as prosecution evidence and another two as defence evidence.
