PUTRAJAYA: The High Court was told that a key figure in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal, Eric Tan, appeared familiar to the Saudi royal family during a visit by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Riyadh.
MACC former director of the anti-money laundering and forfeiture of properties division Fikri Ab Rahim testified that Tan, a known close associate of Low Taek Jho, was already present at a Riyadh palace with his lawyer Datuk Selva Kumar Mookiah when MACC's task force came in 2015 to record statements from Saudi royalty over a purported donation given by the country to Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
