In his opening statement at former premier Najib Abdul Razak's 1MDB trial, lead prosecutor Gopal Sri Ram outlined how an elaborate charade was acted out in four phases.

The lawyer said the accused's ultimate aim was to obtain gratification for himself and had succeeded in achieving this.

“An elaborate charade was employed. It was acted out in four phases in which several characters played a part. But it was the accused who played the pivotal role. His objective was to enrich himself.

“Although this case concerns four phases, the events in respect of them are to be considered as part of a consecutive story because of the pre-arranged plan by the accused to enrich himself,” he told the Kuala Lumpur High Court this morning.

Sri Ram also revealed that an important character in this charade was fugitive businessperson Jho Low, whom he described as Najib's “alter ego and mirror image.”

Below is the opening statement in full:

1. This case concerns the monies of a company called 1Malaysia Development Berhad widely known as 1MDB. It was originally called Terengganu Investment Authority of TIA. The accused was instrumental in changing its name to 1MDB. He also caused amendments to be made to the articles of the company to place himself in sole control of important matters concerning the business and affairs of the company. In short, he was its plenipotentiary.

Additionally, he was the chairperson of the company's board of advisers. He used that position and that of the prime minister and minister of finance to do certain acts and to exert influence over the board of 1MDB to carry out certain abnormal transactions with undue haste. The ultimate aim of the accused was to obtain gratification for himself. He succeeded in achieving that aim.

2. An elaborate charade was employed. It was acted out in four phases in which several characters played a part. But it was the accused who played the pivotal role. His objective was to enrich himself.

3. Although this case concerns four phases, the events in respect of them are to be considered as part of a consecutive story because of the pre-arranged plan by the accused to enrich himself.


4. An important character in the charade is a man called Low Taek Jho or Jho Low. He is a fugitive from justice. He was involved in TIA and later in 1MDB. The prosecution will prove that the accused by his words and conduct made it clear to 1MDB’s officers, its board and others that Jho Low was his alter ego. In truth, Jho Low was the accused's mirror image.

The prosecution will establish facts which will give rise to an irresistible inference that Jho Low and the accused acted like one at all material times.

5. The four charges under Section 23 of the MACC Act are in respect of each of the four phases.

In respect of these charges, the prosecution will prove, through direct and circumstantial evidence that the accused, first in his capacity as the deputy prime minister and minister of finance, and later as prime minister and minister of finance, took several steps that led to part of 1MDB's funds being channeled into his account through a circuitous route to prevent detection of its source.

The accused thereby used his position for gratification. In each of the phases, the accused acted as one with Jho Low.

6. The first phase concerns the scenario of a so-called joint venture created by the accused (acting through Jho Low and one Tarik Obaid, a close associate of Jho Low). It was a false scenario of a joint venture between 1MDB and a company called PetroSaudi International Ltd or PSI. It was called Project Aria. In the first phase, the scene worked in the following way.

7. 1MDB borrowed US$1 billion purportedly to invest in a joint venture company called 1MDB Petro Saudi Ltd. The money was to be paid into the account of the joint venture company. Petro Saudi International took up to 60 percent of the shares in the allegedly joint venture by injecting certain assets of dubious value.

The US$1 billion was to represent 1MDB's contribution to its 40 percent shareholding. But the so-called joint venture agreement was entered into not with PSI but with a company called Petro Saudi Holdings (Cayman) Ltd. And it was Tarik Obaid who executed the agreement on behalf of PetroSaudi Holding (Cayman) Ltd.

Evidence will be led to show the abnormality of the so-called joint venture which close scrutiny will reveal to be a mere device to siphon 1MDB's money for the accused’s benefit.

8. The prosecution will, through oral and documentary evidence, prove that US$700 million of the US$1 billion, instead of being paid into the joint venture company's account, was diverted by the accused into a company called Good Star Ltd which in truth had nothing whatsoever to do with the joint venture. It was incorporated in Seychelles on May 18, 2009, that is to say, five months before the joint venture agreement was entered into. It was a company owned and controlled by Jho Low.

9. The payment of Good Star was made in great haste and without approval from 1MDB's board of directors and in defiance of its directions. Good Star was falsely described as the wholly-owned subsidiary of PSI (Petro Saudi International). The payment to Good Star, was vouched for the accused through Jho Low as monies owned by the joint venture agreement referred to a loan payable by the joint venture agreement referred to a loan payable by the joint venture company to PetroSaudi Holdings (Cayman).

The prosecution will through documents show that the so-called loan was a sham employed to justify the payment to Good Star.

10. In March 2010, 1MDB entered into a so-called Murabaha financing agreement under the terms of which alleged US$1 billion equity in the joint venture company was converted into useless Murabaha notes and 1MDB was required to make available to the joint venture company a sum of US$1.5billion. In September 2010, a sum of US$500 million was sent to the joint venture company. This money has gone missing.

Then in May 2011, a further sum of US$330 million, which was supposed to be the second tranche of the investment into the Murabaha financing, was diverted to Good Star. The accused took positive steps to put through this transaction.

11. From the original sum of US$700 million, sums of money were disbursed by Good Star to several persons including one Prince Faisal, a close associate of the accused, Jho Low and one Prince Turki.

Prince Turki, the accused and Jho Low were so close that they holidayed together on a yacht in the south of France. Prince Faisal received US$12,500,000 from Good Star on Feb 18, 2011. He received a further sum of US$12 million from Good Star on June 10, 2011, which came from the Murabaha scam.

From these sums, he transmitted US$20 million to the accused's personal account in two tranches of US$10 million each. The first tranche was received by the accused on Feb 24, 2011, that is to say, six days after Faisal received the money. The accused received the second tranche on June 14, 2011, that is to say, four days after Faisal received the money. The US$20 million amounts to an equivalent of RM60,629,839.43. This forms the subject matter of the first charge.

12. The first phase came to an end in 2012 with 1MDB holding worthless pieces of paper. The scam having been achieved, Good Star was wound up on May 2, 2014, and PetroSaudi International was wound up on April 8, 2015.

13. The second phase concerns the acquisition of assets of dubious value by 1MDB. The accused, using his position and acting through his mirror image Jho Low, took positive steps and caused 1MDB to enter into two transactions as a result of which the accused obtained a sum of RM90,899,927.28 as gratification. This forms the subject matter of the second charge.

14. These two transactions concerned the acquisition of two independent power producers namely, Tanjong Energy Holdings Sdn Bhd and Mastika Lagenda Sdn Bhd. Mastika owned 75 percent shares in Genting Sanyen Sdn Bhd. To make the purchase, 1MDB acted through its subsidiaries 1MDB Energy Holdings Ltd, 1MDB Energy Ltd and 1MDB Energy (Langat) Ltd (all Labuan companies) as well as through Malaysian registered companies, namely, 1MDB Energy Sdn Bhd and 1MDB Energy (Langat). These companies were used to raise finance for both acquisitions.

15. I now take each acquisition separately. A local bridging loan of RM6.17 billion was raised for the acquisition of Tanjong Energy. An additional sum of US$1.75 billion was raised through the issue of 10-year structured loan notes. Goldman Sachs was appointed as lead arranger for the issuance of these notes.

16. Of the US$1.75 billion, US$786 million went to Tanjong Energy. Of the balance, a sum of US$907 million was paid into the account of 1MDB Energy Ltd with Falcon Bank in Hong Kong. Of this sum, approximately US$577 million in round figures went to Aabar Investments PJS Ltd (BVI).

This payment was purportedly as a security deposit for Aabar’s holding company IPIC issuing a guarantee, guaranteeing the notes. In addition to the security deposit, Aabar was also given an option to take up 49 percent of shares owned by 1MDB Energy Ltd in 1MDB Energy Sdn Bhd.


On May 22, 2012, US$295 million was paid by Aabar to a company called Blackstone Asia. Blackstone is a company controlled by Jho Low through his associate Tan Kim Loong, also known as Eric Tan. He is also a fugitive from justice. Additionally, on July 25, 2012, a further sum of US$133 million was transferred by Aabar to Blackstone. These monies remained with Blackstone until October 2012. Goldman Sachs was paid US$192.5 million in arranger's fee for this bond issuance.

17. For the Mastika acquisition, the alleged purchase price was RM2.75 billion. The money for this came from two sources. First, another10-year structured loan notes of US$1.75 billion. For this, 1MDB paid Goldman Sachs US$110 million in arranger's fee. So, 1MDB got a nett sum of US$1.64 billion. This sum was paid into 1MDB Energy (Langat) Ltd's account with Falcon Bank, Hong Kong.

The second was a local loan of RM700 million. The total loan raised from these two sources was about RM6.16 billion. There was, therefore, an available excess of RM3 billion. This excess was almost wiped out by a payment on Oct 23, 2012 to Aabar Investment PJS (BVI) of a sum of approximately USD790 million in round figures as a security deposit for Aabar's holding company IPIC for allegedly guaranteeing the repayment of the notes.

As additional security, Aabar was given an option to take up 49 percent shares owned by 1MDB Energy (Langat) Ltd in 1MDB Energy (Langat) Sdn Bhd. For the Mastika acquisition, Genting Power was paid US$710 million. The loan raised through the notes for the Mastika purchase came into 1MDB Energy (Langat) Ltd’s account on Oct 19, 2012.

18. On Oct 23, 2012, Aabar paid a sum of approximately US$291 million in round figures to Cistenique Investment Fund or CIF. On the same day, Aabar paid US$76 million to Enterprise Emerging Markets Fund (EEMF). On Oct 23, 2012, Aabar paid US$75 million to Blackstone. This was part of the US$790 million paid to Aabar.

Later, Nov 5, 2012, Aabar paid a further sum of US$96 million to EEMF. Soon after CIF and EEMF received the monies in question, they paid it to Blackstone. These monies were then channelled by Blackstone into the accused’s account as follows.

19. On Oct 30, 2012, a sum of US$5 million was paid into the accused’s account at AmPrivate Bank. Then, on Nov 19, a sum of US$25 million was paid into the accused’s account. The total sum received by the accused in the second phase is set out in the amended second charge.

Evidence will be led to show how financial layering took place to provide a false justification for the movement of the monies. So much for the second phase.

20. The third phase concerns another purported joint venture between 1MDB and Aabar in equal shares. The joint venture company was called ADMIC. This forms the subject matter of the third charge. The purpose of this alleged joint venture was to develop TRX or the Tun Razak Exchange in Kuala Lumpur.

IPIC was to guarantee Aabar's investment. The Ministry of Finance of which the accused was minister guaranteed 1MDB's investment by way of a letter of support. A loan of US$3 billion was raised for this alleged purpose. Goldman Sachs acted as the arranger of the loan.

21. On March 14, 2013, the accused signed a letter of support to raise a loan through the issue of bonds by 1MDB from the Bank of New York Mellon Group in the sum of US$3 billion. On March 19, 2013, a sum of US$2.721 billion was disbursed into the account of 1MBD Global Investment Limited with the BSI Bank at Lugano in Switzerland. The balance went to pay the fee of Goldman Sachs.

22. From the US$2.721 billion, a sum of US$1,060,606,065 was paid into the account of two fiduciary funds, namely, Devonshire Funds Ltd and EEMF. Devonshire received US$646,464,649 in five tranches over two days, that is to say, on March 20 and 21, 2013. EEMF received US$414,141,416 in three tranches, also within two days, that is, March 20 and 21, 2013.

23. On March 21, 2013, Devonshire transferred US$430 million to Granton Property Holdings Ltd which is a company controlled by Eric Tan, Jho Low’s shadow. On the same day, Granton transferred the whole of that sum to Tanore Finance also a company controlled by Eric Tan.

Also, on the same day, that is to say, March 21, 2013, Devonshire transferred a sum of US$210 million to Tanore Finance Corporation. Then, between March 22, 2013 and March 25, 2013, EEMF transferred US$250 million to Tanore which therefore by that date had US$890 million in its hands.

24. Between March 21, 2013 and April 10, 2013, Tanore transferred US$681 million to the accused's account. In terms of our currency, this amounted to RM2,081,476,926. This sum forms the subject matter of the amended third charge.

25. Based on the evidence that the prosecution will adduce, the so-called joint venture never took off. There was no investment and there was no true joint venture. It was all a sham. This concludes the third phase.

26. The fourth phase concerns the purchase of the Aabar options by 1MDB. These are the options that were given to Aabar in 2012 as allegedly part of the consideration for IPIC’s guarantee for the notes that raised US$3.5 billion forming part of the second phase.

27. In May and August 2014, 1MDB through its subsidiary 1MDB Energy Holdings Ltd obtained two loans totalling US$1.225 billion from Deutsche Bank Singapore. The accused approved this transaction. The loans were secured by guarantees provided by 1MDB Energy and 1MDB Langat.

There was a bridging loan of US$250 million and a facility loan of US$975 million. The first loan of US$250 million was made available on May 26, 2014. From this amount, a sum of US$239,939,970 was paid into 1MDB Energy Holdings Ltd’s account with Falcon Bank Hong Kong on 28 May 2014. Of this sum, Energy Holdings paid Aabar Investments PJS Ltd BVI US$175 million to its account in BSI Lugano, Switzerland allegedly to part redeem the option given as additional security that was mentioned earlier when dealing with the second phase.

28. From the sum of US$175 million, a sum of US$19 million was paid by Aabar to the account of a company called Affinity Equity International Partners Ltd. The payment was made on June 18, 2014. The account was held at DBS Bank Ltd Singapore. Affinity Equity is controlled by Eric Tan. Of the US$19 million, a sum of US$1.89 million was transferred to a company called Blackrock Commodities (Global) Ltd at its account held in DBS. Blackrock is a company controlled by Eric Tan. On June 23, 2014, a sum of GBP750,000 was transferred to the accused’s account. This works out to RM4,093,500.

29. I now turn to the second loan of US$975 million which was made available on Sept 1, 2014. Of this sum, US$250 million was utilised to discharge the bridging loan. That left US$25 million. On Sept 3, a sum of US$223,333,000 was transferred to Aabar Investments PJS Ltd (incorporated in Seychelles) at its account with UBS Singapore. Then, on Sept 30, 2014, US$457,984,607 was paid to Aabar Investments PJS Ltd (incorporated in Seychelles) at its account with UBS Singapore.

Between Oct 16, 2014 and Nov 17, 2014, Aabar transferred a sum of US$226 million to Aabar International Investment PJS Ltd to its account in Barbados. Between Oct 16, 2014 and Nov 17, 2014, Aabar Barbados transferred US$225,500,000 to Vista Equity International Partners Ltd (Barbados), a company owned and controlled by Eric Tan. Between Oct 23, 2014 and Dec 19, 2014, Vista Equity through five tranches in sterling currency transferred a sum equivalent to RM45,837,485.70 to the accused’s account. This sum together with the RM4,093,500 earlier mentioned forms the subject of the fourth charge. It follows that part of the sum alleged to be used to redeem the option ended up in the accused’s account. So much for the fourth phase.

30. I now turn to the 21 charges for money laundering offences. These are the AMLA charges.

The first nine charges relate to receiving of the RM2,081,476,926 which forms the subject matter of the amended third charge. The monies fell into the accused’s account ending 9694 with AmIslamic Bank. Between Aug 2, 2013 and Aug 23, 2013, the accused transferred a sum of RM2,034,350,000 to Tanore Singapore.

Simultaneously, the accused used the balance of RM22,649,000 to pay four entities and one individual. The prosecution's case is that all these payments benefitted the accused.

31. After making these payments, the accused transferred the balance into a new account ending 1880 with AmBank through two transfers amounting RM162,436,711.87. He closed his account ending 9694.

32. The 10th charge and charges 16 to 19 relate to the transfers made by the accused to Tanore involving RM2,034,350,000.

33. Charges 11 to 15 concern the use by the accused of the funds earlier referred to through payments to the four entities and one individual. All these payments were made by cheques signed by the accused.

34. Charges 20 and 21 concern the transfer of funds from the 9694 account to the 1880 account.

35. In this latter part of the case, the prosecution will establish the AMLA charges through direct and circumstantial evidence. It will be proved that in all the circumstances of the case, the accused committed the offence of money laundering contrary to Section 4(1)(a) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001 (Amlatfa).

36. After the 1MDB scandal broke in early July 2015, the accused with his mirror image Jho Low took steps to cover his tracks. Sham documents were produced to pretend a donation from an Arab prince. Among these were letters and four cheques each for a sum of US$25 million purportedly written out by a person said to be the Arab donor. But these cheques were never meant to be encashed and were never encashed.

37. The prosecution will also produce evidence to show that the accused took active steps to evade justice. He interfered with the course of the investigation of this case which has come to be known as the 1MDB scandal.

He took active steps to effect a cover-up of his criminal acts. The prosecution will rely on all this evidence to show that the accused had the requisite mens rea when the offences with which he is charged were committed.

Initially I did not understand why Shafee and Najib were so afraid of Gopal Sri Ram leading the charge as lead public prosecutor in the 1MDB trial.

Now I know why.

if SRC case he can cabut, this case is the nail to his grave

even if justo reveal all, still if bn cling to power, they will deny all wrong doing, when ag and igp is on their side, nothing can go wrong.

He will pull out his sekret move.
Wall of text.

PM: I've no idea about 1MDB money laundering
9 Jun 2015 SoS

..."However, I would like to state that I had no knowledge of any money laundering by 1MDB.

..."Should anyone be found guilty of money laundering, they will be brought to justice," said Najib in the third instalment of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) uploaded onto his blog yesterday.

GSR power sial. Kudos to him despite his old age (almost reaching 90 if i remember correctly)

bijan case also dropped before GE14

By the very AG bijan appointed. After bijan fired the prev AG who wanted to charge him for the SRC case.U know the normal behaviour of totally innocent man.

Kalau betul bersalah kenapa x tangkap lagi?(lol)

Kalau betul bersalah kenapa x dakwa lagi?(double lol)

Anak Tun kenapa x siasat ada GAZILLIONZZZZZZZZZZZ????

AG had nothing to do with dropping LGE case, that was solely DPP's decision and the judge decided to fully acquit LGE.

You just refuse to believe there is no case to begin with, and they all decided to not waste time anymore.

Both are different scenarios dude

LGE -With the help of AG, the case was dropped during the ONGOING trial in court

Najib - It was never BROUGHT to trial in the court by the AG -

Me: both AG are mehhhh

This post has been edited by hakimnen: Aug 28 2019, 05:55 PM

they better not cook up the story...

Wow. Very detailed.

As I said, AG TT had absolutely nothing to do with it.

‘Thomas not involved in withdrawal of corruption charges against Lim and Phang’
05 Sep 2018
https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2018...E0CbPEqKBGk2.99

Tell that to MACC who is surprised that the case was dropped, who then had to come up with a statement to stress that the decision to drop the case was AGC and not MACC. The fact that the trial is already on-going means there was a case - the proper way would be to let the whole trial to run it's course and let the verdict exonerate him.

And also such a high-profile case you think the AG is not involved meh? Of course not directly but still final approval to charge or drop needs to come from him.

Let's face the fact that the AG now is still beholden by the government of the day - LGE was charged during previous AG's time and charges were dropped during current govt's time.

You can read the star link above.

AG TT had recused himself, the new DPP takes full responsibility for his decision to drop it.

He came in with a fresh perspective and thought it's a guaranteed losing case, hence he dropped the case, TT had nothig to do with it. As the DPP said, he only informed TT on the morning itself he decided to drop it.

MACC can terkejut all they want, but it is the DPP handling the case that has the prerogative to press on or drop it, and he made it clear it was his decision, not anyone else.

In fact, he requested for discharge not amounting to acquittal, but the court had granted full acquittal. So TT had the power to influence the court?

Who got some Indian to be the patsy as CEO of a fake company.

KUALA LUMPUR: : Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) menafikan dakwaan untuk menarik balik dua pertuduhan kes rasuah terhadap Menteri Kewangan Lim Guan Eng seperti yang dilaporkan oleh sebuah portal berita.

“SPRM tidak mempunyai kuasa untuk melaksanakan perkara seumpama itu bagi mana-mana kes pendakwaan sebaliknya ia tertakluk kepada kuasa Pejabat Peguam Negara,” jelas kenyataan yang dikeluarkan pada Rabu.

https://www.google.com/amp/www.astroawani.c...-181364%3famp=1

Yes AG got the power...

It mentions Pejabat Peguam Negara which means it's the AG Chambers (not necessarily the AG himself as it could be the DPP in charge who decided to drop the charge).

AG is the head of AG Chambers and DPP work under AG in AGC. AG and DPP have absolute discretion (power) to decide whether to charge or not to charge a person or withdraw the charge halfway through the proceeding.

But of course if there is any conflict between the decision of AG and DPP, the AG's decision should prevail as he is the head/boss of DPP. That is to say, if the DPP decided to withdraw the charge but AG decided against the withdrawal, the DPP then ought to follow AG's decision.

In LGE case, the AG claimed that he was not involved in the decision making for the withdrawal of the charge which means that he did not decide for or against the withdrawal of the charge, he just stayed away from it and let the DPP himself make the decision.

Although logically as the AG himself, he should have reviewed the case thoroughly to make sure the DPP's decision to withdraw the charge is right and proper instead of staying away from it and solely letting the DPP himself to make the decision as he did in order to avoid any political accusation or remarks against him.

Thats how money laundering works... You pusing satu dunia to make it hard to trace.

I hope SriRam gave the best to nab bijan... Sri Ram is the best we got.

But kindda Sad as nothing we don't know in what SriRam said. And some or all has been answered by BN macais... But now is the real showdown.... The best we got from Malaysian Baru vs Hot Shot lawyer... Fight..

Magahai dis bijan. I hope he got loceng cancer and his dick drop off

i take a look already headache liao, how come u can get mental orgasms .... lawyers all like super long documents ke?

Thanks for the clarification..you got the point

The last two paragrsph explain eveything. It can be the AG or DPP itself for which we will never know.

My humbe opinion, trial should be carried out as it is. Let the justice speak to itself...

No, lawyers like complicated stuff distilled down into easy, simple to read and understand points presented in an articulate, eloquent and erudite fashion.

Sri Ram made a complex, multi-layered, tedious and winding case sound simple and easy to follow. Takes VERY big brains to pull off such a packaging.

ok

lemme read again .... when free

due to the power of cash.. u think he no money they will worship him? His troopers are still here as you can see...busloads of them

Brevity and conciseness.

but hor your kepit boss najib and hot shot lawyer safee want to ban sri ram ler so scare meh

dog bit ma hand

tired

another court case

medical cert


sky is the limit. what will shafee think of next?

Don't pancut awal laa..... Really.. All is old news and allegation.. I do hope for some new allegation... All has been answered. Well... We see lah... Jeng... Jeng... Jeng....

mc card activated !!!
even though mc not valid in court still mc janji delay

Most likely previous AG were forced to make a case even though fully knowing it's a losing battle, because such case will smear LGE name just in time for GE14

if not scare why want to ban sri ram confirm najib and safee will have nightmare sleeping if sri ram is not removed from the case

I also agree that the charge shouldn't have been withdrawn as I don't think the DPP would just simply draw up a charge without any basis at all so I believe there's something there, otherwise why would the DPP take up the charge in the beginning if there was no case at all.

why sri ram ?
not tan sri ram ?

#maluapabossku
tee hee hee

sri ram is his name. Gopal Sri Ram. His title is Datuk Seri.

wow i did roughly go through the entire articles, too many mentioned of billions$ and millions$. WOW

Sri Ram FTW!

Who don't do that laa.... TT also they do that too.... You put monkey also they will ban the monkey and PH macai say bijan takut monkey.. Hahahahha

For the both lawyer... For them it's a war. They will use anything for their advantage.

I read through Sri Ram's opening statement again.

Two thoughts:

1) Our former Prime Minister, and his batch of leaders in UMNO are world class crooks. What is even more amazing is that a significant portion of our country still supports these bunch of fuckers because they are "Muslim and Melayu".

2) Jho Low pulled off a con-job so big and amazing that he should have a movie called "Oceans One: Jho Low" which would be all about himself. The way he screwed over the country should serve as a wonderful lesson to all those looking for opportunities to exploit Malaysia and make a quick buck off her incompetent, race-and-religious baiting leaders. Well done, Jho Low, my hats off to you. Shame you didn't screw Malaysia out of a 0 or two more in your bank account line.

This case is going to showcase some of the biggest brains our wonderful country has to offer - the brains of one of its best legal minds, Sri Ram, and the brains of one of its best criminal masterminds ever, Jho Low.

Hopefully, UMNO - PAS win next general election so that more scams and conjobs can be pulled on the country. Who doesn't want to follow in the great Jho Low's footsteps, LOL!

With jho low in absence.. I wonder how long this case will be drag until it off due to not enough witness to verify.. Is it possible like that?

They do not need Jho Low. The money trail alone is enough to screw Najib based on money laundering counts. And from the sounds of it, there is enough direct and circumstantial evidence to nail Najib of practically every charge of criminal breach of trust and theft.

There is a reason why the prosecution took so long to really lay the big broadside against Najib. Because when they drive the nail into his coffin, they want to do it properly, they have to do it properly, they have to make sure the nail goes through and prevents that vampire from ever escaping that coffin again, and they have to make a show so big, convincing and lethal that public opinion has got no choice but to say: "Fvck, that bastard is guilty as hell!"

Because right now, we have a big bunch of morons who still think Najib gor is innocent of all the theft he has committed against the country. We also have another bunch of folks who think we should vote back UMNO - PAS in the next GE because "PH did not keep enough of their promises", LOL!!!

Prince Turki, the accused and Jho Low were so close that they holidayed together on a yacht in the south of France. Prince Faisal received US$12,500,000 from Good Star on Feb 18, 2011. He received a further sum of US$12 million from Good Star on June 10, 2011, which came from the Murabaha scam.

this is the so called "donation from Saudi prince" mentioned in the SRC trial?

problem with the big bunch of moron is they dont see rasuah as an issue... apa malu bossku

Steady la if like that. 👍🏼

Total dunno got 15-16 different charges
If those don't stick, we still have tax evasion LHDN clause.

so u indirectly saying that bijan is guilty and afraid to lose the case dats why resort to using these dirty tricks to delay the case?

if really innocent then why scared? fight till the end la, confirm can win mar if really innocent, if based on wat u said every lawyer use anything to their advantage, then why isnt the prosecution team doing the same? why only shafee team doing all these nonsense? if prosecution so damn sure they will lose they will oso do these nonsense tricks to delay the case mar, but now oni 1 side is doing it, so it shuld b clear to u why they are doing it rite??

najib will not sleep soundly tonight knowing sri ram will haunt him in his sleep hahahaha

Well, if we want to get all technical, there is actually very little "rasuah" (bribery, corruption, kickback) involved in the charges here.

What we have here is true, blue theft. Criminal appropriation. Pilfering the country's coffers.

We also have multiple elements of criminal breach of trust, criminal negligence, criminal intimidation, obstruction of justice, illegal use and transfer of funds, not to mention the good old fashioned money laundering.

Of course, down the line, when the smaller fish get reeled in, then we will see the corruption charges coming into play. A lot of the UMNO warlords "should" go down to corruption and AMLA charges, and hopefully a good portion of the PAS leadership too.

But as it stands, this is daylight robbery, plain and simple.
