KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak arrived here at the Jalan Duta High court at 1.51pm, to attend his long awaited corruption trial.

Najib[1] arrived at the court complex in a black Proton Perdana, accompanied by his special officer.

He was surrounded by hundreds of media trying to get a good shot of his entry.

He then quickly moved towards the court room.

Chants of ‘hidup Najib’ and ‘Najib bossku’ were heard as he made his way to face his charges.

Najib is facing seven charges relating to criminal breach of trust, abuse of power and money laundering involving RM42 million of SRC International Sdn Bhd’s funds.

The trial, scheduled to begin at 2pm, will be presided by High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali.

The first day of the trial will see Attorney- General, Tommy Thomas, who heads the prosecution read out the opening statement before the High Court begins hearing the testimony of witnesses.
