Trial to begin now. Charges are being read to the accused.

2:31pm: Najib's defense Shafee said that they are filing a notice of motion of a review for the federal court. Yusuf briefs the court that there is a defect in the case presented by Tommy Thomas and team:
"The law is clear when a challenge is made on the charges. We need to come up with affidavits.
"Thomas said you can hear the application later, but if the charge is not clear then the defence is allowed to challenge. The charge is defective of substance and an abuse of process," he said.

Yusof said the charge has been amended twice and his client needed to know whether he is charged with abuse of the money for his own use or others.
"This has to be made clear. We are also contending the money laundering charges should not be there at all.
He wants the motion filed today to be heard first.
"We want the charges to be stayed until the motion is heard," he said.
