1MDB trial: Witness tells court Malaysians, not Arabs, put cash into NajibRazak's accounts
Joanna Yu, who had dealt with Najib's private bank accounts previously as AmBank's relationship manager, confirmed the identities of the individuals who had helped top up the accounts when there were not enough funds to cover the cheque amounts. Yu is the 41st prosecution witness in Najib's trial, where the former finance minister is facing 25 charges over RM2.28 billion of 1MDB funds which were alleged to have entered his AmBank accounts.
Yu noted that Najib's mandate holder or authorised account handler Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil had even on several occasions asked to ensure the cheques do not bounce and that Nik Faisal had himself said Kee would be making the cash deposits into the account. She confirmed that this meant Nik Faisal as the mandate holder was aware of the large sums being put into Najib's accounts at the bank counter.
