Former banker admits BSI bank didn't check Jho Low's claim of acting on Najib's behalf

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here was told on Thursday (March 7) that a simple counter-check by the bank would confirm fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho's claim that he was acting on behalf of Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's instructions in matters concerning SRC International Sdn Bhd's affairs.

Former BSI Bank Head of Wealth Management Services, Kevin Micheal Swampillai, 64, also agreed with counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, representing Najib, that a simple check would also prevent millions of dollars from being funnelled from SRC International into SRC International (Malaysia) Limited’s (SRC BVI) account at the BSI.
