The Kuala Lumpur High Court today decided to discharge without acquittal (DNAA) former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and former Treasury Secretary-General Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah, over charges of criminal breach of trust involving RM6.6 billion of government funds. This decision came after procedural delays and the prosecution’s failure to submit key documents, a ruling that was met with relief from Najib's supporters, who believe the case lacked sufficient grounds.
