PUTRAJAYA: Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz was offered as a defence witness at the close of the prosecution case in Datuk Seri Najib Razak SRC International Sdn Bhd trial but this was never taken up, says the prosecution.

Ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaran said the appellant (Najib) had the opportunity to interview and, if desired, to call the former Bank Negara governor to testify as they had raised matters relating to the central bank during the prosecution's case.
