“Our bank was pre-empted that funds amounting to RM2.68 billion would be deposited into an account opened by Najib in 2011,” she said during cross-examination. When asked to confirm if such large amounts of cash, namely the RM2.034 billion being remitted out of the country would be scrutinised by BNM’s ROMS, Uma Devi replied in the affirmative to the query.
Uma Devi said Najib subsequently transferred a remaining balance of RM162 million from account-694 to a new account after he closed the account on August 30, 2013.
