The RM114 million seized from Pavilion Residences, along with jewellery, watches and handbags, is not linked to 1MDB, but belongs to Umno, say lawyers representing the party and Najib Razak. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, March 15, 2021.
THE Kuala Lumpur High Court today heard that the RM114 million in cash seized by police in 2018 from Pavilion Residences belonged to Umno and the prosecution failed to show that the monies had any link with the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) fund scandal.
Counsel Hariharan Tara Singh, acting for Umno, submitted that the seized cash was a political donation belonging to the party and that Najib Razak had sourced and managed its funds.
