PM Najib's telephone conversation intercepts part of DOJ evidence of theft from 1 MDB

by Ganesh Sahathevan

In an asset seizure related to the main Red Granite asset seizure action, the US Department Of Justice has also filed a number of other writs.One of these, USA v ALL RIGHT TO AND INTEREST INSYMPHONY CP (PARK LANE) LLC. contains this telling paragraph: 

50. A special meeting of the 1MDB Board was held on September 26, 2009, which was attended by 1MDB OFFICERS 1 and 2 and members of the Board. (JHO) LOW also attended this meeting. Just prior to the meeting,  (JHO) LOW spoke by telephone with MALAYSIAN OFFICIAL 1. 

In 2009 the 1 MDB matter had yet to come to public attention,and therefore it is not likely that Jho Low was under surveillance by the DOJ at that point of time. Readers can decide for themselves how then the evidence of that phone clal from Jho Low to Najib was acquired,and what other evidence has been gathered in the process.

From the WSJ:
“No no no,” Mr. Low wrote, according to transcripts of BlackBerry messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Super sensitive.” He instead had someone collect the statements by hand.
Mr. Low sent hampers of food to Ms. Yu and lunched with her at noodle shops, according to the phone messages.

Ben Robert-Smith : How was Justice Anthony Besanko of the Federal Court able to find that the crime of murder has a civil twin, which can be determined on a balance of probabilities

Most if not all reports have been at pains to stress that the finding was based on a balance of probabilities, and not beyond a reasonable doubt, for the matter was a civil and not criminal matter.  However,  reading his summary one can immediately see that Justice Besanko  found not that Roberts-Smith had committed murder but that the " respondents had, (on  a balance of probabilities) established the substantial truth"  that  Roberts-Smith had committed murder.  However, murder is a  crime and a finding of murder in a criminal court (which is the court in which crimes like murder can be determined!) inv

Who authorised former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller to say anything about the Berejiklian era quarantine fee and why? Fuller's notice confirms suspicion that NSW Berejiklian government had no basis to impose the quarantine fee, nor quarantine persons who were COVID negative

 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Premier Gladys Berejiklian with NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller and Brigadier Mick             Garraway Who authorised former  NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller  to say anything about the  Berejiklian era  quarantine fee and why? Fuller's issuance of his  COVID  quarantine notice, and subsequent silence, would seem to confirm suspicions raised on this blog that NSW's Berejiklian government had no basis to impose its quarantine fee. Fuller's conduct also adds to suspicion that the Berejiklian government did not have the authority, even under its COVID emergency powers, to quarantine persons who were COVID negative. International arrivals had to test negative for COVID before boarding their flights to Sydney, and tests had to be administered within 72 hours of departure. Quarantine on arrival of those who exhibited no COVID symptoms was quite likely unnecessary. It did, of course help bolster Gladys Berejiklian's approval ratings. TO BE RE
