00:00Datuk Shri Najib Razak's conduct and actions in multiple instances related to 1MDB clearly
00:07demonstrated his vested interest in the Sovereign Wealth Fund, the KL High Court heard on Wednesday.
00:13DPP Ahmad Akram Garib said it is the prosecution's duty to prove Najib's involvement and personal
00:19interest in 1MDB to obtain illicit gains on the four charges of abuse of power.
00:25He was submitting at the close of the prosecution's case in the trial of the former Prime Minister,
00:30who is accused of misappropriating 2.3 billion ringgit in 1MDB funds.
00:36He added that evidence shows that the accused caused amendments to be made to Articles 117,
00:4268 and 93 of the 1MDB Memorandum and Articles of Association to place himself in sole control
00:50of important matters concerning the business and affairs of the company.
00:55He said Najib also systematically stopped the then Second Finance Minister, Datuk Shri
01:00Ahmad Hosni Hanadzla, from handling 1MDB matters.
01:04Ahmad Akram said this conduct clearly demonstrated that Najib had a vested interest in 1MDB when
01:10he excluded Ahmad Hosni as the only other person within the Finance Ministry who had
01:15any form of influence over the company.
01:18This is a submission before Justice Datuk Colin Lawrence Sequeira continues.
