Jho Low: BN govt didn't want me to do deal with DOJ and implicate Najib
Fugitive financier Low Taek Jho or Jho Low claimed to have been on the verge of a deal to sell his assets and settle his 1MDB lawsuits with the United States Department of Justice but the then-administration of prime minister Najib Abdul Razak was not willing to have documents revealed that would implicate the latter.
A day after the famous raids on Najib-linked properties following the May 2018 general election, Low began communications with the government of new prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad. The recordings are now being revealed by Al Jazeera in its documentary "Hunt for a fugitive".
