Duo ignored warnings, court told


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court heard that fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho and former SRC International Sdn Bhd CEO Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil ignored warnings about numerous cash deposits into AmBank accounts that belonged to Datuk Seri Najib Razak between 2014 and 2015.

Joanna Yu (pic), who was a former AmBank Bhd relationship manager, said she had cautioned Low, better known as Jho Low, and Nik Faisal, who was the mandate holder for Najib’s accounts, against receiving large cash deposits over the counter because it could raise money-laundering concerns.
