A seven-week trial over political donations that took three years to reach the High Court in Auckland is drawing to a close today.
The Serious Fraud Office brought charges against seven people, including former MP Jami-Lee Ross, claiming they helped to split one or more of three large donations to the Labour and National parties into smaller amounts to hide the true donor from public scrutiny.
All defendants deny the charges.
Amy Williams has been at the High Court and filed this report.
