KUALA LUMPUR — The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) today clarified that all matters raised by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's defence team in a recent press conference concerning the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) case had been fully presented and adjudicated during the trial.
In a statement, the AGC said that these issues were raised throughout the trial proceedings, which spanned from Aug 28, 2019, to Nov 4, 2025.
The department reiterated its commitment to conducting prosecutions with independence, fairness, and integrity, adding that all its decisions are based solely on the law and available evidence to ensure justice and uphold the public interest.
Yesterday, Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah renewed claims that the former premier's 1MDB corruption trial was unfair, saying the defence was disadvantaged by how key prosecution witnesses were handled, starting with former Goldman Sachs banker Roger Ng Chong Hwa.
Shafee also raised concerns over the treatment of other individuals linked to 1MDB, including former general counsel Jasmine Loo Ai Swan, described as a close associate of fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low.
Najib faces four charges of misappropriating RM2.3 billion in 1MDB funds and 21 counts of money laundering.
The verdict on the 1MDB case will be delivered by Judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah on Dec 26, 2025.— December 19, 2025
