KUALA LUMPUR : Former Prime Minister, Datuk  Seri Najib Tun Razak  is expected to face more than 10 counts of committing criminal breach of trust linked to the SRC International Sdn Bhd case, according to a source.

It said that Najib  would be charged today  at a Kuala Lumpur court and that the new Attorney-General Tommy Thomas  himself would lead the prosecution team.

A court source said Najib  would be charged at the Criminal Sessions Court 2 located at Level 4 on the right wing of the Kuala Lumpur Courts Complex. It is learned that the case would be mentioned before the most senior of the Sessions Court judges, Datuk  Zainal  Abidin  Kamarudin, and then transferred to the Criminal High Court 1 before Justice Datuk  Azman   Abdullah.

The 1Malaysia  Development Berhad  (1MDB) Special Task Force said in a statement yesterday that Najib was arrested at his residence in Jalan  Langgak  Duta  here at 2.35pm over the investigation into SRC International and would be charged at 8.30am today.

Najib  had gone to the MACC  headquarters twice earlier to have his statement recorded over the investigation into a case related to SRC International.

SRC International was a subsidiary of 1MDB, and was placed under the jurisdiction of the Finance Ministry in 2012.

MACC  Chief Commissioner, Datuk  Seri Mohd  Shukri  Abdull  said on May 22 that the MACC  probe in 2015 against Najib  involved funds of RM2.6 billion and RM42 million that were believed to have been transferred from SRC International to the former Prime Minister’s personal bank accounts.- Bernama
