Jho Low had a habit of 'masking' offshore company names to sound like established companies, court told


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was told that fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low, had a habit of “masking” the names of offshore companies to sound similar with that of established companies in his plan to embezzle money from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).

This was suggested by lawyer Wan Aizuddin Wan Mohammed who was cross-examining former 1MDB CEO Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi at Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1MDB trial involving RM2.28bil here on Wednesday (Aug 5).
