Najib and Irwan Serigar granted DNAA in RM6.6 billion IPIC CBT case
Najib and Irwan were charged in October 2018 and had pleaded not guilty to six counts of CBT involving government funds used as payments to the International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC).
(The Vibes) – FORMER prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and ex-Treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Irwan Serigar Abdullah have been granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) in their International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) case.
Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Datuk Muhammad Jamil Hussin granted the DNAA against the former prime minister and the former company adviser today.
Najib and Irwan were charged in October 2018 and had pleaded not guilty to six counts of CBT involving government funds used as payments to the International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC).
“These are my brief grounds. First, the prosecution failed to abide by Section 51A of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC).
”Second, the DNAA does not prejudice the prosecution as they can recharge the accused.
”Third, this case was registered in 2018 but the trial cannot proceed even when trial dates have been set many times. This is an inordinate delay,” he ruled.
