Saya percaya usaha sama USD2.5 bilion akan dimeterai, kata Shahrol

Former 1MDB CEO Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi, the fourth plaintiff in a USD5.64 billion lawsuit filed against former Prime Minister Najib Razak and four of his companies, expressed confidence that a joint venture (JV) deal worth USD2.5 billion with PetroSaudi International Ltd (PSI) was initiated through communication with Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low.

The 56-year-old, who is set to be one of four plaintiffs in the USD5.64 billion lawsuit, stated that this communication resulted in his belief that the JV ceremony would take place. However, Shahrol admitted that he did not take any subsequent action due to this and lacked any documentation confirming the ceremony's occurrence. When questioned by attorney Shafee Abdullah, who represented Najib, the first defendant in the lawsuit, Shahrol affirmed that he had no knowledge of Amhari receiving money from Jho Low.

He also confirmed that all information about the JV ceremony came from Jho Low and that he considered the information to be accurate.
