AmBank Jalan Raja Chulan branch manager, R Uma Devi, said the money came in nine tranches and was deposited into the former prime minister’s account ending with the digits “9694”.

She added that the actual amount transferred in US dollars amounted to US$681 million.

However, the 37th prosecution witness did not specify the sources of the funds as she read from her witness statement.

The prosecution’s opening statement, made at the commencement of the trial, had claimed that the sum of RM2 billion which was deposited in the account originated from companies linked to fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low.

However, the defence is contending these were from an Arab donation.

Based on the opening statement, Uma Devi also said that between Aug 2 and Aug 23, 2013, RM2.03 billion was withdrawn and sent to Tanore Singapore.

Examined by deputy public prosecutor Najwa Bistamam, Uma Devi said the account ending with “9694” was a normal current account.

Najib held five accounts with AmBank between 2011 and 2015.

She said Najib also had a savings account ending with “1481” and three other current accounts – ending with “1880”, “1906” and “1898”.

Uma Devi said the bank’s “higher-ups” had given permission to name Najib’s accounts as AmPrivate Banking-1MY.

“To my knowledge, no other bank customers were given such a privilege,” she said, adding that only the bank’s relationship manager and branch staff had access to his accounts.

Uma Devi said it was Najib alone who was responsible for banking transactions.

“This was not told to him but it was stated in the terms and conditions,” she added.

Earlier today, she also told the court that about RM90 million was deposited into Najib’s bank account ending with “9694” in late 2012.

Najib, 69, is facing four charges of using his position to obtain bribes totalling RM2.3 billion from 1MDB funds and 21 charges of money laundering involving the same amount.

The hearing before trial judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah continues.
