Najib Abdul Razak's lead counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah has claimed that new evidence suggests fugitve Jho Low had known former Bank Negara governor Zeti Akthar Aziz and her family longer than he knew the former prime minister.

The senior lawyer also referred to former attorney-general Tommy Thomas' comments on Zeti during an interview on Nov 24.

"... Thomas, during an interview, candidly admitted to knowledge of 'the role of Zeti and her husband in facilitating Jho Low' regarding 1MDB.

"Thomas further revealed that there were investigation papers opened by MACC against the former BNM governor during his tenure as the attorney-general.

"The information recently disclosed above are of material relevance to our client's defence and appears to have been suppressed from our client despite the same being available at the time of his SRC trial that has the effect of prejudicing his defence," he added.
