KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian court on Monday (Nov 14) struck down a government bid to forfeit millions of dollars in luxury goods seized from jailed former prime minister Najib Razak, finding insufficient evidence linking the assets to unlawful activities, a lawyer for Najib said.
The items were previously confiscated from premises belonging to Obyu Holdings, a company purportedly owned by Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor.
The luxury goods - including 2,435 pieces of jewellery, seven luxury watches and 29 designer handbags worth RM80 million (US$17.4 million) - were seized by police at Pavilion Residences in Kuala Lumpur on May 17, 2018.
