Najib named as main beneficiary in RM2.28bil 1MDB scandal, court told


PUTRAJAYA: The biggest beneficiary of the RM2.28bil misappropriated from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) was Datuk Seri Najib Razak, the High Court heard.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Ahmad Akram Gharib, in his submissions, said Najib's defence had argued that individuals linked to 1MDB benefitted from the financial scandal - particularly former 1MDB chief executive officer Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi, former general counsel Jasmine Loo and Najib's former special officer Datuk Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin - while Najib did not enrich himself.
