Riza, Jho Low will have to " show cause why forfeiture should not be decreed"-Najib & co have snowball's hope in hell that US courts will accept "donation " and other fairy tales

by Ganesh Sahathevan


These statements at the end of the indictment seem to have been (purposefully?) ignored by Malaysian PM Najib, AG Very Learned Apandi, and a whole slew of others who may well be deemed co-conspirators in the 1 MDB theft:



WHEREFORE, plaintiff United States of America prays that: 


(a) due process issue to enforce the forfeiture of the Defendant Asset; 

(b) due notice be given to all interested parties to appear and show cause why forfeiture should not be decreed; 


(c) this Court decree forfeiture of the Defendant Asset to the United States of America for disposition according to law; and 


(d) for such other and further relief as this Court may deem just and proper, together with the costs and disbursements of this action. 

In layman's terms, Riza Aziz and others interested in the Defendant Asset ie the "Wolf of Wall Street" , must, if they so wish, come to court and explain why the forfeiture should not be granted ie that their source of funds is legitimate. It iis not expected that any US court or judge is going to prefer the Najib "donation" story , or the RIza Aziz "gift" story , to the evidence of the DOJ.The indictment makes clear that these stories have been considered,and found less than convincing.

by Ganesh Sahathevan        NSW AG Mark Speakman defending his Cronulla seat In 2013 the then NSW Minister for Finance Greg Pearce was sacked by the then  NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell for not disclosing a conflict of interest when he appointed the former  Sydney University General Counsel Richard Fisher to the board of Sydney Water.  Fairfax Media reported the details:  Fairfax Media has been told the lawyer Richard Fisher ''picked up the tab'' for the party to celebrate Mr Pearce's marriage to Shauna Jarrett, which was held a year before the Coalition took power in NSW and Mr Pearce became minister for finance and services. It has emerged that Ms Jarrett reports to Mr Fisher at the University of Sydney, where he is the general counsel. This was not disclosed to cabinet before it endorsed Mr Fisher's appointment in what Mr O'Farrell described as a ''clear breach'' of the ministerial code of conduct. Mr O'Farrell said he dismissed Mr Pe...

It is likely that other costs have and will be incurred, in the course of unravelling a scandal that the  NSW LPAB would have been aware of since at least 2006.  There is also a paper trail to show  that the   NSW LPAB Executive Officer at the time, Louise Pritchard,  had personal knowledge of governance matters which concerned the PLT, but were however excluded from the NSW LPAB Annual Report 2018 (see story below).
