KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has allowed an application by 1Malaysia Development Bhd and its three subsidiaries against Hollywood producer Riza Shahriz Abdul Aziz for access to documents including his correspondence with fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low in a US$250mil lawsuit.
The 46-year-old must also permit the plaintiffs to inspect the original or duplicate copies of the requested documents for inspection and photocopying. 1MDB is seeking access for receipt and documents related to a sum of US$10,173,104 by Red Granite Pictures Inc , and receipt and documents related to US$238mil by Red Granite Capital Ltd .
In an affidavit-in-reply, Riza said he believed the documents requested by the plaintiffs was merely a “fishing expedition” to obtain more information from him and by allowing the application, it would be tantamount to an oppression against him. It said Riza “knew or ought to have known that those funds had been misappropriated” and had allegedly used the funds for their personal benefit and for the benefit of their associates, including for the purposes of financing movie productions and purchasing various real estate.
