KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak will get to inspect the 17,000 documents surrendered by Xavier Andre Justo to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) during investigations into the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal. However, he ruled Najib could only inspect the documents which were stored in a thumbdrive but not obtain it. Najib had made an application to inspect and obtain the documents surrendered by the1MDB whistle-blower and former PetroSaudi International Ltd director to the MACC as part of the 1MDB investigations. Sequerah in his decision said he found that the documents were relevant to Najib's defence in the ongoing 1MDB trial. "It will not be a 'fishing expedition' as Najib's defence team has sufficiently identified and categorised the documents that they need," he said.
