KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak has failed in his bid to obtain documents related to investment bank Goldman Sachs and Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz as the High Court dismissed his discovery applications in the RM2.28bil 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial.

Najib, in his application dated March 24, sought to compel the prosecution in the trial to disclose banking documents linked to Zeti’s family on claims that her family allegedly received monies from fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low.The court agreed with the prosecution that Zeti was not the person on trial and she had yet to be called to testify.

The judge also said that the integrity and credibility of Zeti, a former Bank Negara Malaysia governor, was not an issue in the trial and that the application amounted to a “collateral attack”, which was not permitted. The defence had submitted, amongst others, that the contents of Leissner’s mobile phone could show communications between Leissner and 1MDB officials.
