PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s defence team maintains that Low Taek Jho a.k.a Jho Low is the central figure in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal despite Low insisting he only acted as an intermediary for deals.
Najib’s defence lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said the fugitive businessman had lied in his interview with Singapore daily The Straits Times by claiming others played a far bigger role in the scandal.
