KUALA
LUMPUR: The High Court today was told that it is incorrect for the prosecution to say that former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak (
pix) had direct control over 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) for the latter to exercise his power which allegedly caused the money from the sovereign wealth fund to flow into his personal bank accounts.
Lawyer Tania Scivetti representing Najib said based on the affidavits of Senior Assistant Commissioner R. Rajagopal and Superintendent Foo Wei Min regarding the alleged money trail involving funds going out of 1MDB into the Pekan MP account, there was no documentary evidence that the money flowed into his account due to his (Najib) instruction.
KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The High Court here on Monday (April 5) was told that a bungalow in Tanjung Bungah, Penang, owned by Puan Sri Goh Gaik Ewe, the mother of fugitive businessman, Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, should not be a subject matter on the ongoing forfeiture suit, as it is not related to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.
Lawyer M. Puravalen, who is representing Goh, 69, submitted that no averments were made regarding the house, which was built on two plots of land purchased by Goh back in 1990 and 1993, based on the sale and purchase agreement produced in court today.
