Lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram said in his opening statement before High Court judge Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah that Low, better known as Jho Low, was the alter ego of the former premier and that the duo acted as one.
"Additionally, he was the chairman and he used that position and that of the prime minister and finance minister to do certain acts and exert influence on the board of 1MDB to obtain gratification for himself. Sri Ram added that the prosecution will also prove, through direct and circumstantial evidence that the accused, first in his capacity as the deputy prime minister and finance minister and later as prime minister and finance, minister took several steps that led to part of 1MDB's funds being channelled into Najib's account through a circuitous route to prevent detection of its source.
