Specific 1MDB-linked items ordered for inspection by Najib and his family

The High Court has granted an extension for Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his family to inspect various items seized by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), which are allegedly linked to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) funds. These items include a substantial collection of luxury goods and significant amounts of cash in different currencies. The court's decision allows for a more thorough examination by the defence.
Luxury Goods Seized

Among the items to be inspected are 315 handbags, 14 watches, and 27 pairs of shoes, all of various brands. Najib's legal team had previously indicated that original wrappings had been removed from some seized items, causing confusion in identification. The application sought colour pictures and detailed descriptions, including labels and packaging, to aid in this process.
Cash Holdings Under Scrutiny

The seized assets also encompass a considerable amount of cash in multiple currencies. This includes RM537,000, £2,700, and 2,870,000 Sri Lankan Rupees. Additionally, RM187,750 in older Malaysian Ringgit notes and £320,500 were among the funds confiscated. The origin and specific connection of these cash amounts to 1MDB funds remain a point of interest in the ongoing forfeiture proceedings.
Court-Appointed Inspection Dates

The prosecution had proposed specific dates for the inspection to take place: February 22, 23, and 29, as well as March 1. These dates were accepted by Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan, who set March 23 for further case management. The court also granted the defence two weeks post-inspection to file their replying affidavit, indicating a structured approach to the examination process.
