How 1MDB fugitive Jho Low tried to bargain for his freedom
In a series of conversations, the so-called mastermind behind the Malaysian financial scandal tries to avoid justice.
Malaysia’s $4.5bn financial scandal brought down the country’s former prime minister, Najib Razak, then saw him convicted and sentenced to 12 years in jail, subject to an appeal, for his role in looting the country’s sovereign wealth fund, 1Malaysia Development Berhad or 1MDB.
International investment bank Goldman Sachs, often regarded as untouchable, has also been brought to justice, charged with bribing corrupt foreign officials to win 1MDB business and forced to pay out billions of dollars to financial regulators around the world, including Malaysia and the United States.
