Najib was not duped by Jho Low, court told


PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak was never 'duped' by fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) financial scandal, as his actions show otherwise, the High Court heard.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohamad Mustaffa P Kunyalam said the former prime minister had, in fact, entrenched Low in both his personal and official dealings, including Low arranging Najib’s private holidays while also managing 1MDB’s financial matters.
