Datuk Seri Najib Razak has directed his legal team to initiate contempt proceedings against former Attorney-General Tan Sri Ahmad Terrirudin Mohd Salleh.
Najib’s lead counsel, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, stated that the action concerns Terrirudin’s alleged failure to disclose an addendum order issued by the former Yang di-Pertuan Agong, permitting Najib to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
“I have received instructions from Najib to file a contempt of court action against Terrirudin by tomorrow, or at the latest, Friday,” Shafee announced during a press conference at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya today.
Terrirudin currently serves as a Federal Court judge.
