High Court rules claims of bias, shoddy investigation against Najib in 1MDB case lack merit

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court ruled on Wednesday (Oct 30) that the defense's claims of bias and shoddy investigations surrounding the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) case involving Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak lack merit.

Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah (now Court of Appeal judge) said this was because the investigations were commenced in 2014 when the accused was still the prime minister and resumed thereafter in 2018.
