Shafee claims Najib’s ex-aide Amhari took bribe from Jho Low; idea for 1MDB’s predecessor and RM5b govt guarantee not from Najib
TIA had previously in 2009 obtained the Malaysian government’s guarantee for its borrowing of RM5 billion through an Islamic bond, and TIA was later renamed to 1MDB. Shafee said this was because Amhari — who was the eighth prosecution witness in the 1MDB trial — is allegedly a “corrupt public official”.
“Amhari came as a witness with a programme in his head,” Shafee said, likening it to “almost like a chip” had entered Amhari.“I might as well say this, not only Amhari, but every single one of the prosecution witnesses, perhaps with the exception of Tan Sri Bakke Salleh. Bakke I must say is substantively an honest person. But he has been drilled to say certain things to implicate Datuk Seri Najib, I will say that and I will prove it because there is evidence to that effect,” Shafee claimed.
In that charge, Najib was accused of having abused his multiple positions — finance minister, prime minister, and 1MDB’s board of advisers’ chairman — to get gratification of RM60.6 million for himself. Shafee said the High Court would have to consider if this was a situation where Najib was just doing his official work and there were other people in TIA and 1MDB who conspired to hijack 1MDB’s money, instead of whether this was a situation of Najib having hatched a conspiracy to form TIA to eventually “hijack” TIA into 1MDB when he becomes prime minister to raise more money and hijack the money.
