part sentence on this day he could delay it to another day because of the complex nature of the case so these are the things that could happen now we know that the judge started reading out his judgment about 15 minutes ago but we don't as yet have a verdict now not just still enjoys wide political support when he arrived in court there were hundreds of his supporters there not only that members of his high ranking members of his political party that is no the united malays national organization the party president deputy president secretary general youth chief were all there to show their support for him i think for their florence lawyer there will be crossing back to you as soon as we get a verdict we are monitoring that let's take a closer look now at the multi-billion $1.01 m d b. corruption scandal the cases are related to the state investment fund which launched as prime minister 2009 the u.s. department of justice says for not $1000000000.00 from the fund what i do diversity

to offshore bank accounts and shell companies linked to cho low immolation financier close to. allegedly received more than a $1000000000.00 from the fund public money was also allegedly used by his stepson to finance hollywood films such as the wolf of wall street charges against his stepson were withdrawn after a settlement was reached 20 a teenager was voted out of office amid growing public anger over those allegations he's pleaded not guilty to all 42 charges against him. well every him softly on is with the merdeka center for opinion research she joins us on skype from kuala lumpur thank you for your time can you tell us what are the political ramifications of this trial and all the guilty or not guilty verdict. thanks for having me on this case is a landmark event in legion political he's really funny because in august years

there's never been such a high ranking but he will feature that hasn't been charged and now undergoing trial. in this coming woman's so it is very important and it is an issue that i think has got a nice but listen several years ago there ended up with the all ruling by the losing power. in mr morris the prime minister and now a lot of things have in recent months in malaysia that the mr know whose by the law is no part of the early information and this case i think is certainly going to be viewed by many malaysians as the whether the government will continue to work or the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary so it is a landmark case that will test the strength of its you share this and he need. mr what's at stake for the current prime minister here i mean he campaigned on

corruption and as you mentioned is now in a government that relies on a coalition with knowledge of posse. well i think for the prime minister you know this is a case that he has basically left to the courts to make a car to make a judgment and i think the government grows and by the very you know the legal process is a lengthy one and. a real be you know presumably an appeals process that follows up after the case but if mr nigh. as many malaysians what he expects then i think it's going to be a boost for the commitment of the government for 'd independence of the usury and in some ways it will help the prime minister when he didn't meet the new prime minister are sure of his credentials and be an impartial leader republican public when he took over the prime ministership in live february 1 of the commitments he

may want to ensure the government will not contain kleptocrats and people who are involved in legal problems and i think this is going to be a benchmark of that statement the charges that message it faces are vast 42 charges and all. that more and $1000000000.00 from the state found that he set up was looted some of that ended up allegedly in his personal bank account i mean how is it that mr najib has remained influential within his party given the magnitude of the allegations that he's facing. well i think he has you mean influential but because you know he's been with the politico by the end the process also very long he was one of the youngest. political office bearers in the country he became a chief minister was when he was in his sleep when peace and he has been in both leagues for nearly 40 years and over the years he has built influence gain the

support i think of you from his own political fight the end as we can see outside the courthouse large numbers of his supporters there showed up to give him moral support and in many say he still is respected by people from means political party as the leader there the big believe in and some extent some of them also believe that you know he may have been free or was not. caught unawares or work of things transpired with respect to all these complex transactions there has been a lot happened in the run up pair as we mentioned earlier charges against mr not just stepson were withdrawn after a settlement a settlement was reached there was a lot of evidence in that case that public money was allegedly used to finance hollywood films like the wolf of wall street i mean what does that say about what

may happen here. well i think what i think is going to transpire to be looking at some of the reports as the judge is reading his body he hasn't been glued it yet as i've been seeing it right now but it seems to indicate that the judge has look at the evidence and found that there are gaps or who holes in those all that you pleased with and i didn't fucking have performing as but minister and also as a person sent through to the kids and then it sent to me points towards a negative outcome for me so i think in this situation is seen separately from the set of men involving dyspepsia so the kids here i think looks more on. more direct and affects the impersonally thanks so much for analysis ever himself leon that with the mode because center for opinion research you. still to
