00:00The Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court has allowed the prosecution's application for the CCTV
00:05footage in the case of Israeli Avitan Shalom, who's charged with two counts of trafficking
00:10six firearms and possessing 200 rounds of ammunition, not to be disclosed to the public.
00:17Judge Noreena Zainal Abidin made the ruling on Monday after Deputy Public Prosecutor Ruliza
00:22Abdul Majid told the court that the CCTV footage, which had been handed over to the defence,
00:28should only be used as a reference by expert witnesses during the trial.
00:32She added that all necessary documents, including the forensic report analysis, have also been
00:38handed over to the defence.
00:40Avitan's lawyer Jeffrey Uwe did not object to the application.
00:45Ruliza also requested that the previously set trial dates be rescheduled, as one of
00:51the Deputy Public Prosecutors would be involved in the one MDB case, which overlaps with the
00:57Avitan case.
00:58Judge Noreena then set September 30 for the next mention of the case to fix new trial
01:04dates.
