: The High Court here today was told that Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s former special officer Datuk Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin was a corrupt public official as he knowingly accepted a US$200,000 ‘loan’ from fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low.

“Amhari has every reason to extricate himself from his complicity with Jho Low and to inculpate Najib. His credibility could be salvaged if his wrongdoings are attributable to his superior’s instructions or approval instead of his personal corrupt motive. In 2019, Amhari testified that he took the money from Jho Low to buy a RM1.85 million property in Kota Damansara, Selangor. He even admitted that there were no agreements signed between him and Jho Low to facilitate the disbursement of the loan.

“If indeed Amhari had attended the meeting in his official capacity as Najib’s special officer, no record or minute was produced to substantiate it having taken place. The other attendees of the meeting were not called to testify to corroborate Amhari’s attendance,” he said.
