1MDB trial: Jho Low wanted to be known as Najib's proxy, says Jasmine Loo

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here was told that fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low often used his influence as someone close to Datuk Seri Najib Razak and wanted the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) management to identify him as former prime minister’s proxy.

1MDB former counsel Jasmine Loo Ai Swan, 50, said most matters requiring the prime minister’s approval needed to be discussed first with Jho Low before being brought to Najib, who was then the chairman of 1MDB board of advisors.
