KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah's criminal breach of trust (CBT) trial totalling RM6.6 billion was postponed for a second time today.
This follows the prosecution's request for more time to declassify hundreds of documents that need to be served to the defence team for the trial.
On June 4, Judge Datuk Muhammad Jamil Hussin adjourned the proceeding to give time for both parties to sort out documents that will be used for the trial, ensuring that all necessary evidence is properly organised and presented.
Najib and Irwan were charged in October 2018, and had pleaded not guilty to six charges of CBT involving government funds used as payments to the International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC).
