UK authority unable to block alleged 1MDB funds at law firm, court hears

US$340 million in alleged 1MDB funds is kept in a client’s account at a UK law firm.

“They told us they are facing difficulties in registering the local order to be enforced in their country,” he said, in urging trial judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali to set an early date to hear the government’s bid to obtain a restraining order that can be fully enforced in London. “As far as we are concerned, we are complying with the local interim order here. And this is the first time I am hearing about it.

“We will send an MLA request to the UK’s Crown Prosecutor, seeking their assistance to enforce our order,” Izzat said, referring to the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Act’s treaties.
