IMDB, subsidiaries file lawsuit against Najib's wife for $492m

Malaysia's insolvent state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (IMDB) and 10 subsidiaries filed a civil lawsuit against Rosmah Mansor seeking US$346 million (S$492 million) belonging to the companies.

The plaintiffs claimed that Rosmah, the wife of Malaysia's former prime minister Najib Razak, had used the funds from the companies to purchase luxury items such as jewellery, watches and handbags.

On May 17, 2018, the Malaysian police raided three apartments in a posh Kuala Lumpur condominium owned by Najib's family. They carted away 284 boxes containing luxury handbags, and 72 bags filled with jewellery, cash of various denominations, watches and other valuables.

Among the items seized were prized Birkin handbags from Hermes.

Long ago, that business abandoned the site to the elements, leaving just rudimentary structures and a four-storey concrete birdhouse made to lure swiftlets whose nests, built with saliva, fetch high prices in China.
