"Only three of us have this picture. I hope it doesn't go into the internet for Halloween purposes," Shafee told Justice Sequerah.

This follows what the former premier had said in a meeting that he does not want to destroy the country.

The defence's argument is basically the authenticity of the documents is being questioned, and the court should not admit them.

Lead defence counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah argued that while a person can be charged under Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFA) without being charged for the predicate offence, that does not mean the prosecution is excused from proving the predicate offence.

"However, the independent valuation was never done."

This means Musa is left with 30 charges of bribery amounting to about US$50.26 million.

Shafee cited the example of Petroliam Nasional Bhd's (Petronas) M&A, which he claimed was also very controversial as it granted the PM even more powers over the company than 1MDB’s did.

After producing a series of documents yesterday, Shafee implied Shahrol could not have been so naive to solely follow Jho Low to the point that he disregarded NAD’s requests for documents.

The plaintiffs of the case, led by deputy public prosecutor Fatnin Yusof, were told by High Court Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan today to share the coloured photographs and proper description of the items for Najib and Rosmah to identify whether they were personally purchased or gifted by the duo's acquaintances.
