The JC also disclosed that one of the defendants in the lawsuit, former 1MDB CFO Azmi Tahir, was a former schoolmate and an acquaintance. The lawsuit is part of the 22 civil suits filed by 1MDB and its subsidiary SRC International Sdn Bhd to recover assets worth over RM96.6bil. Filed by 1MDB and its four subsidiaries – 1MDB Energy Holdings, 1MDB Energy Ltd, 1MDB Energy (Langat) Ltd and Global Diversified Investment Company Ltd (Formerly known as 1MDB Global Investments Ltd) – the lawsuit named Najib as the first defendant. JC Atan is assigned to the lawsuit after a previous judicial commissioner, JC Adlin Abdul Majid, recused herself from the case last week. "1MDB and SRC contend that these entities and/or individuals have been unjustly enriched by wrongfully receiving monies from 1MDB or SRC," the ministry said in a statement.
