Banker: No red flag on RM2.03 billion outflow from Najib’s account
  • 2 years ago
A bank branch manager testified today that no red flag was triggered by the transfer of US$620 million (RM2.03 billion) out of Najib Abdul Razak’s account in August 2013.

The manager of AmBank’s branch at Jalan Raja Chulan, R Uma Devi (above) told the Kuala Lumpur High Court that this was the reason why the transaction linked to the former prime minister was not stopped then.

The 37th prosecution witness was testifying during the RM2.28 billion 1MDB corruption trial against Najib, who also used to be the finance minister and the chairperson of the board of advisers of the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund.
