Cops get statements from judge, legal officer over 'leaked judgment' in Rosmah case
A total of 10 witnesses have been identified and will be called up soon, police say.
The police today confirmed that they had recorded the statements of two individuals in relation to the alleged leak of judgment in Rosmah Mansor’s corruption case.
Sentul district police chief ACP Beh Eng Lai said the individuals were a High Court judge and a legal officer.
"We have identified 10 witnesses that we will call up, and the remainder will be asked to provide their statements soon," he said when asked to comment on the investigation.
The Chief Registrar’s Office of the Federal Court lodged a police report on the matter on Aug 27, after the alleged judgment was published on a news website that had also carried what was purported to be a leaked draft of Najib Razak's SRC International appeal judgment.
The alleged document went viral on social media and was subsequently used by Rosmah’s defence counsel as a basis to seek the last-minute recusal of High Court judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan.
