Najib’s lead defence lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah this morning informed Sequerah that the SRC trial would be expected to continue on until tomorrow only, but also gave the additional caveat that it would not go beyond this week. Datuk V. Sithambaram, who is leading the SRC case’s prosecution, confirmed to Sequerah that the same had been communicated to the SRC trial judge.
But Sequerah noted that he had previously said that the prosecution would have to make its own arrangement for its own team for Rosmah’s case and that he was not deferring the 1MDB trial for the Rosmah trial, saying: “So I’m only giving way to SRC, not to any other case.” In response to Shafee, Sequerah made it clear that he was only giving way in the 1MDB trial for one day as the SRC trial was confirmed to be going on today.
For the 1MDB trial, the High Court had previously fixed trial dates from March 10 13, 19 to 20, 23 to 27 and 30 to 31 inclusive of Friday, the entire month of April, May 4 to 8, 11 to 15 and 18 to 22 inclusive of Fridays, as well as June until October inclusive of Fridays.
