Among the names suggested by Jho Low were former Qatar prime minister Hamad Jassim Jaber Al Thani, Mubadala CEO Khaldoon Al Mubarak, French businessman Bernard Arnault and CITIC Group chairman Chang Zhenming.To this, Najib’s lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said: “There is nothing coming from your personal knowledge as CEO.
