[superadmin]

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court is scheduled to hear Najib Razak’s appeal against his conviction in the RM42 million SRC International corruption case from Aug 15 to 26.

In a letter dated April 29, the court informed the prosecution and defence that the appeal would be held over 10 days.

It also asked the parties to be in court by 8.40am as the hearing would start at 9am.

“The written submissions must be filed before July 31,” the letter read.

Last year, the Court of Appeal affirmed the High Court’s decision in July 2020 to convict Najib on seven charges of power abuse, criminal breach of trust and money laundering over RM42 million belonging to SRC International that entered his bank accounts.
