Defence lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah suggested that the transcript of the conversation between Low Taek Jho and Ambank may show that the fugitive businessperson had misled Ambank in relation to transactions involving former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's bank account.
"It (the transcript) is important because it shows that the transactions are being made in the bank without his involvement.
"Other people are running the account. If Jho Low misleads the bank, what is Najib going to do? How can you blame him?
"That’s why I said it’s about whether he (Najib) knew he was dealing with illicit funds," he told journalists after the fifth day of Najib's SRC International Sdn Bhd trial at the Kuala Lumpur Courts Complex yesterday.
