The High Court in Kuala Lumpur has granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and former treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah in a criminal breach of trust case linked to payments to the International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC). The decision was made due to the prosecution's failure to comply with the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC).
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and former treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah in the RM6.6bil criminal breach of trust case linked to payments to the International Petroleum Investment Company .
Earlier, lawyers Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, who represented Najib, and Datuk Seri K. Kumaraendran, who represented Mohd Irwan, submitted on the inherent power by the court to grant DNAA when there was no application by the prosecution. The court had previously heard from the prosecution, led by Deputy Public Prosecutor Muhammad Saifuddin Hashim Musaimi, that the prosecution had no control over the declassification of confidential documents that would be used in the trial.
On Oct 25, 2018, Najib, 71, and Mohd Irwan Serigar, 67, pleaded not guilty to six charges of CBT amounting to RM6.6bil in government funds involving payments to the Ipic.
