JUDGMENT

Introduction

[1] The appellant in this case is the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato' Sri Mohd Najib bin Haji Abdul Razak. He was charged with seven offences against his conduct in relation to a company called SRC International Sdn Bhd ('SRC'). The High Court found him guilty and convicted him on all seven charges. The sentence imposed on the appellant is an aggregate concurrent custodial sentence of twelve years and a fine of RM210 million (in default 5 years' imprisonment). The Court of Appeal affirmed the conviction on all seven charges and the sentence imposed. In these three appeals before us, the appellant challenges the conviction and sentence.

[2] We must state that the respondent has not challenged the measure of the sentence imposed against the appellant.

[3] The seven charges against the appellant are, in summary, simply these. The first charge relates to abuse of power under s 23 of the Malaysian Anti- Corruption Commission Act 2009 ('MACC Act 2009'). The next three charges are on criminal breach of trust under s 409 of the Penal Code while the last three charges are under s 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 ('AMLATFAPUAA 2001').
