PUTRAJAYA: Fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low
(pic) would not dare to deceive Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak due to their good relationship, the Court of Appeal was told.
Ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram said it was too far-fetched that Jho Low, being in a position subordinate to the appellant (Najib), would have the audacity to orchestrate fraudulent transactions that would directly implicate the former prime minister.
Sithambaram submitted this before a three-member bench led by Judge Datuk Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil in the hearing of Najib’s appeal against his conviction and jail sentence for misappropriation of RM42 million in SRC International Sdn Bhd funds.

Ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram highlighted how the numerous BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) chats between the 54th prosecution witness, AmBank relationship manager Joanna Yu Ging Ping, and fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, had instead indicated actual knowledge on Najib’s part regarding the status and transactions involving his personal accounts.

PUTRAJAYA, April 12 Datuk Seri Najib Razak did not dishonestly misappropriate RM42 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd since he did not know of the fund’s source and subsequent utilisation of it does not prove the element of dishonesty under criminal breach of trust (CBT), the Court of Appeal heard today.
Najib’s lawyer Harvinderjit Singh said this during submission in Najib’s appeal hearing against the former prime minister’s conviction and jail sentence for misappropriation of RM42 million SRC International funds.
