KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 — More scandals involving 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) were uncovered at Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s trial this week, such as alleged siphoning of funds into joint ventures purportedly for the purpose of raising funds for the 13th general election (GE13).

In the midst of it all was Terengganu Investment Authority Berhad (TIA) later 1MDB former chief executive officer Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi, 49, whom the prosecution called as the ninth and one of its key witnesses.

The former prime minister now 66, is facing four charges of having used his position to obtain gratification totalling RM2.3 billion from 1MDB and 21 counts of money laundering involving the same funds.

Najib, who is also Pekan MP allegedly committed the four offences at AmIslamic Bank Berhad, Jalan Raja Chulan branch, Bukit Ceylon here between February 24, 2011, and December 19, 2014, and the 21 charges, at the same place between March 22, 2013, and August 30, 2013.

Following are highlights of the evidence presented by the witness before High Court Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah:
