Ex-aide says Najib, Rosmah and family holidayed on princes’ yachts in France, Greece, Italy as told by Jho Low; confirms taking group photo
KUALA LUMPUR, May 9 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor and their family went on several holiday trips on yachts purportedly owned by and on the alleged invitation of princes from Middle East countries in the France, Greece and Italy waters, Najib’s former aide told the High Court today.
Wan Shihab said he had first known about Low — better known as Jho Low — during Najib’s work visit to Washington DC in the US at around 2007 or 2008, and that Najib’s son Nor Ashman was part of this work delegation that was staying at the Four Seasons Hotel there. For these trips, Wan Shihab confirmed that Najib, Rosmah and their family had flown using a government-owned aircraft before going to the yachts.For the first trip, Wan Shihab said Low had contacted him in August 2009 to introduce himself, adding that Low had said that a Kuwait prince had invited Najib and the family to holiday in southern France on a yacht known as “RM Elegance” allegedly owned by the prince and the prince’s friend Syeikh Hamed.
Initially only touring southern France on the yacht, Wan Shihab said that Najib had told him on either the second or third day that a Saudi prince named Prince Turki on another nearby yacht had invited Najib and his family for tea, adding that he had arranged for the visit via a tendered boat to go on to Prince Turki’s yacht.
