KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here was told that the 263 handbags of various brands, 27 pairs of shoes as well as 10 pieces of luxury watches seized by police from the residence of Datuk Seri Najib Razak relating to the misappropriation of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) funds were gifts from friends and dignitaries.

Lawyer Iskandar Shah Ibrahim, who is representing Najib’s wife and daughter, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor and Nooryana Najwa, respectively, also said there was no money trail to show that all the assets were from the misappropriation of 1MDB funds.
