PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s “macai” (henchman), Low Taek Jho
(pic) or Jho Low and two others helped arrange the transfer of millions of SRC International Sdn Bhd’s funds into the former prime minister’s bank accounts, the Court of Appeal heard.
Ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V. 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 funds.
The other two judges on the bench were Datuk Has Zanah Mehat and Datuk Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera.
PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak would have known the balance in his personal bank accounts due to the millions of ringgit in cheques that he had issued, the Court of Appeal heard.
Ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram said it was unbelievable that Najib had operated a large multi-million account without knowing the balance.
“The value of the cheques issued makes it inevitable that the appellant had knowledge of the account balance. If I had millions in my account, I would check it daily, ” the prosecutor said in jest.
Sithambaram also said any suggestion of ignorance of the bank balance was evidence that the appellant blatantly attempted to hide his knowledge of the bank balances.
