Low ordered sensitive info destroyed


KUALA LUMPUR: Fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low, had ordered for confidential and sensitive information pertaining to the joint venture (JV) between 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) and PetroSaudi International Ltd (PSI) to be destroyed, fearing that it could be used to threaten Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s position, the High Court heard.

However, former 1MDB CEO Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi told the court that there were documents that he did not destroy as he could have “overlooked” them.
