00:00 Former Prime Minister Najib Razak's meeting with a Saudi prince in 2009 did not go through

00:06 diplomatic channels.

00:08 This is what the investigating officer in Najib's 1MDB case told the Kuala Lumpur High

00:12 Court today.

00:14 Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officer Noraida Arifin told the court that no government

00:19 officers attended the meeting that was held on board a yard named RM Elegance.

00:24 She said as Prime Minister, Najib should have known that government-to-government discussions

00:28 need to go through proper diplomatic channels.

00:31 She also said her investigations showed that Najib and his family joined Prince Turkey

00:35 and Petro Saudi International Director Tariq Obaid for a drink.

00:39 Shortly after the meeting, Aida said Prince Turkey sent Najib a letter expressing the

00:44 Saudi government's intention to form a joint venture company.

00:47 1MDB subsequently entered into a joint venture with PSI, under which 1MDB was obliged to

00:53 invest $1 billion US by depositing the funds into a joint venture account.

00:58 However only $300 million US was moved into the 1MDB-PSI joint venture account.

01:03 The remaining $700 million US was remitted to Goodstar Ltd, a company controlled by Low-Tech

01:09 Joe, known as Joe Low.
