KUALA LUMPUR, April 23\u00a0 – Parties in the forfeiture suit brought by the government against former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib\u00a0Razak, his family and several others are\u00a0scheduled to meet the High Court Judge next month.<\/p>\n

High Court deputy registrar Catherine Nicholas said Justice\u00a0Mohamed Zaini Mazlan\u00a0had previously set March 23 for case management, but\u00a0it was\u00a0vacated following the implementation of the Movement Control Order by the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, the High Court has\u00a0fixed May 4 for case management of the main suit,\u201d she said when asked on the development of the case.<\/p>\n

On May 7, 2019,\u00a0 the government through the prosecution\u00a0filed a notice of forfeiture over hundreds of items including branded handbags, watches,\u00a0several properties, other\u00a0assets\u00a0and 27 vehicles seized from Najib, his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, their three children and 13 individuals and companies.<\/p>\n

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had seized the items on May 17,\u00a0June 11 and\u00a0Aug 2, 2018,\u00a0which were\u00a0allegedly linked to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) fund scandal.<\/p>\n

On Feb 3, 2020, Justice\u00a0Mohamed Zaini allowed the applications by Najib, Rosmah and their daughter\u00a0Nooryana Najwa\u00a0to physically inspect the items, which were kept in a vault at\u00a0Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).<\/p>\n

\n

Justice Mohamed Zaini ordered the prosecution to allow Najib and his family to physically inspect the items and held that they should be given the opportunity to inspect the confiscated items.<\/p>\n

On Feb 22, 2020,\u00a0they went to BNM and spent more than three hours inspecting the items.<\/p>\n

On July 18, 2019, Najib filed a notice of motion to inspect and obtain particulars on the said assets on the grounds that parts of the boxes, handbags and containers that were seized had been removed from their\u00a0original wrappings, and this has caused confusion in their identification process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rosmah\u00a0and Nooryana Najwa,\u00a0meanwhile, filed an application for leave to be allowed to physically inspect the items.<\/p>\n

Among the items mentioned in both the notices\u00a0are 315 handbags of various brands, 14 watches and 27 pairs of shoes of various brands, as well as cash in various currencies, including RM537,000, pound sterling 2,700, Sri Lanka rupee 2,870,000, RM187,750 in old ringgit notes and 320,500 pound sterling.<\/p>\n
