Najib’s new ‘evidence’ has no relevance to SRC case, says DPP

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Najib Razak’s application to include fresh evidence to set aside his conviction in the RM42 million SRC International corruption appeal has no relevance, according to the prosecution.

Deputy public prosecutor Budiman Lutfi Mohamed said the former prime minister relied on mere conjecture and speculation to establish that there exists a conspiracy to suppress evidence relating to the trial.

“The application is devoid of merit and fails to provide the necessary justification to allow this court (Court of Appeal) to exercise its discretionary power to adduce additional evidence,” he said in his affidavit, sighted by FMT, in response to Najib’s application.
