High Court dismisses Najib's attempt to put aside Mareva injunction

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has dismissed former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s bid to set aside the Mareva injunction on the assets worth US$681mil (RM3.2bil) linked to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and one of its subsidiaries.

High Court judge Justice Atan Mustaffa Yussof Ahmad said that if the injunction was lifted, there would be a risk of the assets being dissipated before the 1MDB main trial could conclude.
