PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak would have known the balance in his personal bank accounts due to the millions of ringgit in cheques that he had issued, the Court of Appeal heard. Ad hoc prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram said it was unbelievable that Najib had operated a large multi-million account without knowing the balance. “The value of the cheques issued makes it inevitable that the appellant had knowledge of the account balance. Sithambaram also said any suggestion of ignorance of the bank balance was evidence that the appellant blatantly attempted to hide his knowledge of the bank balances. Sithambaram also submitted that throughout the prosecution trial, Najib maintained that Low had manipulated his account and caused the RM42mil to flow into his personal bank accounts without his concurrence and knowledge.
