KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 28): Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his 'alter ego' Low Taek Jho, aka Jho Low, produced 'sham' letters and cheques to falsely represent 1MDB monies that entered into his bank accounts as donations from an Arab prince, the High Court was told today.

This, said appointed public prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram on the first day of the highly-awaited 1MDB-Tanore trial, was done as the former premier actively took steps to evade justice and cover up his criminal acts.
