NAJIB Razak was misled by bankers in charge of government-linked accounts who cooperated with people such as Low Taek Jho to steal from SRC International, said the former prime minister’s lawyer.
Muhammmad Shafee Abdullah said cross-examination of a witness supported the defence’s argument that the accused’s account was manipulated without his authorisation by “outsiders like Jho Low and others and some people in the bank.”

A bit far fetched and way way far too late in pleading ignorance. the lanun should hire a new defence counsel as his low esteem small minded lawyers are running out of antics and ideas. Soon he himself will be facing his coming up charges and will be too busy to worry about the lanun.

Very good press conference considering defense asked for gag order. Shafee is going for trial by media. Come on reporters!!!! question his statements, it doesn't make sense ... he can bluff the camping folks with this kind or story.

Najib said he believed the 42million was a donation so that scuppers this libe of defence. If you had that much money in your account you would personally check it was still there.

This Shafee is so funny.. He claims that people manipulated the ex-pm but somehow these people who manipulated the ex-pm seem to have one trait in common - keep on sending millions and millions of ringgit, not to their own accounts but only to the ex-pm's bank accounts. What is their motive of manipulation not for their own gains but for the gain of one man? This one man who claims to be manipulated doesn't seem to be manipulated at all when it comes to spending the millions of ringgitin his accounts

We would have believed he is a victim if he had nabbed Jho from the very beginning instead of standing alongside with Jho in that luxurious yacht.

If he was(which obviously not), then he's too stupid to be in any leadership position, what more PM of a country

Hot shot lawyer your client has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar and putting the blame on others is too far fetched when he was controlling managing and dispensing the funds at his own free and is fully aware of the bank balance. Please come up with a better defence than pleading ignorance and manipulation by others.
