KUALA LUMPUR: A key witness to the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial continues to divulge more details, telling the High Court that he was asked to open bank accounts overseas for Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s political purposes.

Reading from his 77-page witness statement, Datuk Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin said fugitive financier Low Taek Jho had asked him and Najib’s late principal private secretary Datuk Seri Azlin Alias to open the accounts in their names overseas during a meeting in 2012.
