Umno, Wanita MCA among nine entities that win appeals to keep their monies in 1MDB-linked forfeiture suits

PUTRAJAYA: The Pahang Umno liaison committee has succeeded in its appeal to keep RM2.5mil that was seized in a 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB)-linked suit filed by the government.

A three-man bench chaired by Court of Appeal judge Justice Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil said the High Court judge had erred when he disregarded that the monies, which came from former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, had been spent and the monies seized were from other sources.
