Shafee lodges police report against ex-AG over royal addendum
Najib Razak's lawyer, Shafee Abdullah, alleged that former attorney-general Ahmad Terrirudin Salleh had 'deliberately misled' the High Court over the royal addendum issue.
KUALA LUMPUR : Najib Razak's lawyer has lodged a police report against former attorney-general Ahmad Terrirudin Salleh for allegedly 'deliberately misleading' the High Court that the royal addendum was speculative and based on hearsay evidence.
At a press conference after lodging the report at the Dang Wangi police headquarters here today, Shafee Abdullah claimed that Terrirudin had committed an offence under Section 209 of the Penal Code, which relates to dishonestly making a false claim before a court.
Shafee alleged that Terrirudin had also committed an offence under Section 204 of the Penal Code by hiding a document with the intention of preventing it from being used as evidence in court.
He said he had lodged the police report on behalf of Najib, who had not received any response from the authorities after the former prime minister requested to lodge the report personally.
Last month, Najib filed an application to initiate contempt proceedings against Terrirudin.
His legal team, Messrs Shafee & Co, claimed that Terrirudin, while serving as the attorney-general, failed to reveal the former king's royal addendum allowing Najib to serve the remainder of his jail sentence under house arrest.
During a hearing in January, Shafee told the Court of Appeal the addendum was sent by the Pahang palace to Terrirudin on Jan 29, 2024.
