Jho Low swindled money from 1MDB without Najib's knowledge, court told


KUALA LUMPUR: Fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, or better known as Jho Low, swindled billions of ringgit from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) even before former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak opened the bank accounts related to the charges against him, the High Court heard.

This was suggested by Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah during a cross-examination of former 1MDB non-executive director Tan Sri Ismee Ismail here on Monday (March 21).
