1MDB trial: Najib tells court he returned portion of alleged Saudi donation


PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak told the High Court on Monday (Jan 13) that he returned a portion of the alleged donation from the late King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia because the 13th General Election in 2013 had concluded.

The first defence witness said he wanted to prevent any misinterpretations arising from the presence of such a significant sum of money in his personal account.
