KUALA LUMPUR: Former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his "mirror image", Low Taek Jho, or better known as Jho Low, had taken steps to cover his tracks in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal, including the pretence that money was funnelled in through a donation by an Arab prince, the High Court heard.

Lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram said after the 1MDB scandal broke in early July 2015, sham documents were produced to pretend it was a donation from the Arab prince.
