The Court of Appeal in Putrajaya recently ruled in favor of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) and 10 other companies, allowing them to utilize an affidavit provided by Rosmah Mansor's former personal shopper in an attempt to freeze her assets. The three-judge bench, presided over by Datuk Dr Alwi Abdul Wahab, unanimously overruled a previous High Court decision that prohibited the companies from relying on the affidavit, which was confirmed by Singaporean Shabnam Naraindas Daswani.
The affidavit was submitted to support the companies' application for a Mareva injunction. The legal team representing the companies consisted of Datuk Lim Chee Wee, Nathalie Ker, and Henna Sanghvi, while Rosmah Mansor was represented by Datuk Rajan Navaratnam and Sheena Sebastian. The companies are seeking to freeze Rosmah's assets due to allegations that she acquired over 12,000 luxury items, including jewelry, watches, and handbags, using approximately US$346 million allegedly misappropriated from 1MDB.
