KUALA LUMPUR: More than £9.45mil of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) loan money was deposited into Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s private account in 2014, the High Court heard.

Bank Negara Malaysia analyst Adam Ariff Mohd Roslan, 29, said the money came from two foreign firms, Blackrock Commodities (Global) Ltd and Vista Equity International Partners, companies controlled by Eric Tan Kim Loong, who is alleged to be an associate of fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low.
