NSTnation Dzulkifli said he could not answer as police had already started investigations into the audio recordings.
The former deputy public prosecutor in the Attorney General's Chambers also did not want to answer when asked if he had indeed pledged to handle the legal file concerning the investigations.
When lead prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram continued to press him to explain whether or not he had ever said it in a teleconversation on Jan 5, 2016, Dzulkifli again clamped up. Sithambaram, who at one point described Dzulkifli as appearing to act like he was Najib's defence counsel due to the way he was answering questions, immediately shot him down and said the prosecution would offer no such thing.It was reported that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission had in early January released a set of audio recordings which its chief commissioner at the time, Latheefa Koya, described as leakage of information from the AGC.
One of the audio clips featured a conversation between Dzulkifli and Najib revolving around an investigation paper.Meanwhile, in his cross examination of the defence witness, Sithambaram also questioned Dzulkifili at length on the AGC's decision to order the MACC to investigate further the issue of RM2.6 billion donation and RM42 million of SRC International money which ended in Najib's accounts after the graft busters had submitted their first investigation paper in 2015.
