High Court,Najib Razak,1MDB

Police in India arrested a man at the New Delhi international airport on April 25 for impersonating a Singapore Airlines (SIA) pilot, after he was found walking around the airport dressed in full pilot gear.

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court heard on Saturday that Datuk Seri Najib Razak believed that the shell company, Blackstone Asia Real Estate Partners, which received millions in funds from 1Malaysia Development Berhad that subsequently flowed into his personal bank account, was either controlled or owned by the government of Saudi Arabia.

The 49th prosecution witness was responding to a question by Najib’s lawyer, Wan Azwan Aiman Wan Fakhruddin, regarding the transactions between Blackstone and Najib's personal account ending with the numbers 9694. Wan Azwan Aiman: You agree that, during the recording of the statement by the MACC, Najib was never confronted with any document that Eric Tan was a beneficiary of Blackstone?The witness also agreed that Najib had never instructed Eric to transfer RM90,899,927.30 into his personal bank account in 2012, and she also concurred that the commission did not take any statement from Eric, pertaining to the transaction.
