KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 4): At least two overseas bank accounts were opened and managed by Low Taek Jho to place political funds on behalf of Datuk Seri Najib Razak to help Barisan Nasional win Penang in the 13th General Election (GE13), the High Court was told today.

Najib's former special officer Datuk Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin revealed in court today that Low, also known as Jho Low, had approached him and his then-superior in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), the late Datuk Azlin Alias, to use their names to open two accounts in Swiss bank BSI back in 2012.

"I knew he had met Najib prior to that, because Jho said this matter has received [the ex-PM's] blessing and that we were instructed to open the accounts 'just in case and stand by'," Amhari said.
