Sunday, June 18, 2017
Rosmah Mansor acquired diamonds paid for with 1MDB money in the US,placing herself within the jurisdiction of US laws against theft
by Ganesh Sahathevan
The pink diamond above (GIA report no. 2115637296) was offered for sale at auction by Sotheby's in 2011.Its size.colour, description and GIA report number match that which is described below in the US DOJ's latest 1MDB complaint:
852. On or about September 28, 2013, Schwartz met again with LOW and the wife of MALAYSIAN OFFICIAL 1 in a hotel suite in the Mandarin Time Warner in New York in order to show them the layout of the necklace that Schwartz had designed. Travel records confirm that the wife of MALAYSIAN OFFICIAL 1 was in New York City at this time. Travel records show that on September 27, 2013, LOW flew from Las Vegas to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on his jet. Other passengers on that flight included AZIZ, TAN and McFarland.
854. Schwartz Inc. issued two invoices in connection with the purchase of the 22-CARAT PINK DIAMOND NECKLACE. The first invoice, dated July 3, 2013, was for $23,000,000 for the 22-carat diamond itself. The diamond is described in the invoice as “22.17carat Natural Fancy Intense Pink VS2 clarity (GIA#2115637296) Cut-Cornered Square Modified Brilliant Cut diamond.” The second invoice, dated July 31, 2013, was for $4,300,000 for the accompanying necklace, which was described as “ONE GRADUATE FANCY INTENSE PINK AND OVAL WHITE DIAMOND NECKLACE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE PENDANT TO RING.”
856. The invoices were ultimately paid using funds traceable to diverted 2013 bond proceeds, and more specifically, to the funds that Tanore sent to MALAYSIAN OFFICIAL 1 under the guise of investing in SRC International.
In summary, Rosmah Mansor acquired diamonds paid for with 1MDB money in the US,placing herself within the jurisdiction of US laws against theft, a crime.
Of course, she could well say that she had no idea the funds used were from 1MDB, and that she was always under the impression that the jewellery was a gift from her husband, PM Najib Razak, aka MO1, out of that money donated by some Saudi royal.

Rosmah Mansor's Choice: Surrender the diamonds, or join Najib in jail-On the other hand, has Rosmah joined Riza in seeking a settlement in exchange for cooperation
The Department Of Justice's latest statement of claim in the matter of the 1MDB theft includes this section:
346. As discussed in Part VI.CC below, a portion of the $620 million that MALAYSIAN OFFICIAL 1 “returned” to the Tanore Account was passed through various additional accounts controlled by TAN and LOW and was ultimately used to purchase a 22-carat pink diamond pendant and necklace for the wife of MALAYSIAN OFFICIAL 1. The necklace was commissioned in July 2013, after the jeweler met with LOW, HUSSEINY, and the wife of MALAYSIAN OFFICIAL 1 in Monaco. The purchase price of $27,300,000 was paid on or about September 10, 2013, using funds traceable to the $620 million payment from MALAYSIAN OFFICIAL 1 to Tanore.
The DOJ seeks to seize the 22-carat pink diamond pendant and necklace that was purchased for Rosmah Mansor with money stolen from 1MDB.Rosmah has been given the opportunity to surrender the goods, and in the process admit to the obvious theft.

Adding to the evidence provided by Riza Aziz against Mummy ::Rosmah's lawyer Noorhajran did not deny that Rosmah Mansor is a signatory for the Eric Tan/Jho Low BSI accounts
It has been previously reported on this blog that evidence of Rosmah Mansor's is emerging,out of documents filed in the US, as Riza Aziz fights the DOJ to recover assets acquired with funds
stolen from 1MDB.
These revelations should be read with this earlier article by this article from a related blog,where Rosmah's lawyer did not deny that she was a signatory for the Eric Tan/Jho Low accounts at the former BSI Bank.
Taken together there is evidence of Rosmah's role at the main and subsidiary levels of the 1MDB theft,directing the flow from the original theft,and then managing the funds parked in various subsidiary accounts.
