KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 14): The prosecution in the Datuk Seri Najib Razak SRC International Sdn Bhd case is expected to complete the examination in chief of Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission investigating officer Senior Assistant Commissioner Rosli Hussain today.

Yesterday Rosli told the court of efforts to track former SRC chief executive officer Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil and also fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho and their names had been listed on the red notice of Interpol.

Low or better known as Jho Low had left the country on May 29, 2015 and Nik Faisal just before the 14th general elections on May 7, last year.

Rosli said an arrest warrant had been issued on them by the magistrates court and subsequently the red notice was issued and their passports were revoked last year.

The red notice were put up in Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Macau, Myanmar and China but to no avail.

Rosli who is the 57th prosecution and last witness also told the High Court that besides Nik Faisal, two of Jho Low's close associates Terence Geh Choh Heng and Casey Tang Keng Chee had left the country a day before the 14th GE.

Two others namely businessman Eric Tan Kim Loong and Jasmine Loo Ai Swan had left Malaysia several days after the 14th GE and have not been discovered since despite putting their names on red notice on Interpol says Rosli.

The witness also told the court that the passports for the four of them had also been revoked.

Rosli is expected to be asked further on the seizure of bank account documents by DPP Datuk Suhaimi Ibrahim for about two hours and the defence would then cross examine the witness.
