Kuala Lumpur court registrar Nabilla Yusof said records kept at the magistrates’ courts dated Dec 4, 2018 showed that Loo had never been produced in court to face charges and have her plea recorded.

However, she said police had prepared draft charges which were used to secure the arrest warrants against Loo.

Nabilla was subpoenaed to testify in Najib Razak’s defence at his 1MDB trial today.

She was called to confirm whether Loo was facing charges related to money laundering, criminal conspiracy and the deliberate omission of facts in connection with charges related to 1MDB bonds.

Asked by public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib whether she knew if police had executed the arrest warrants, Nabilla answered in the negative.

Earlier, she confirmed that the arrest warrants taken out for Loo were still valid.

Responding to lead defence counsel Shafee Abdullah, she said no other applications were filed in connection with the arrest warrants taken out for Loo.

Trial judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah interjected to ask Shafee why the defence had called for Nabilla to the stand.

“I thought the questions (relating to Loo’s charges) had been asked when Jasmine was here,” said Sequerah.

Shafee said that when cross-examined, Loo had not informed the court about the contents of the charges.

Najib is standing trial on 25 charges of abuse of power and money laundering over alleged 1MDB funds amounting to RM2.28 billion deposited into his AmBank accounts between February 2011 and December 2014.

The hearing continues on April 15.
