PUTRAJAYA:
Former prime minister Najib Razak has arrived at the Federal Court here to attend proceedings in his bid to review his conviction and sentence in the SRC International case.

He was seen arriving at 8.36am escorted by police.

Earlier, his children, Nazifuddin and Nooryana Najwa, were seen arriving at the court complex.

The Federal Court is expected to deliver its decision today.

A group of about a hundred people had gathered outside the Palace of Justice complex here as early as 8am in a show of support for the former Pekan MP.

On July 28, 2020, Najib was convicted by Justice Nazlan Ghazali, then a High Court judge, for abuse of power, money laundering and criminal breach of trust (CBT) over SRC funds amounting to RM42 million.

His appeal to the Court of Appeal was dismissed on Dec 8, 2021.

Najib began his 12-year prison term on Aug 23, 2022 immediately following the Federal Court’s dismissal of his final appeal.
