KUALA LUMPUR: A bid by now defunct BSI Bank Limited to strike out a $394 million claim against it by scandal-hit Malaysian state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and its unit, Brazen Sky Limited, has been dismissed by Singapore's High Court, 1MDB said on Thursday.
Three former BSI bankers have previously been convicted in Singapore in relation to the scandal at 1MDB, where at least $4.5 billion is estimated to have been misappropriated in a complex globe-spanning scheme, according to Malaysian and U.S. authorities.
