Carpet seller Deepak says cut ties with Rosmah, Najib after being financially ‘destroyed’
Deepak claimed in the interview that he was forced to use Najib and Rosmah’s lawyer and file false defense statements exonerating the couple in the court case.
(MMO) – Claiming to have been financially “destroyed” by Malaysia’s former power couple, Deepak Jaikishan said he finally severed ties with Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor and her husband Datuk Seri Najib Razak in 2014.
But the carpet merchant who was once a close associate of the former prime minister and his wife also claimed he was forced back into their company and into using their lawyer over a lawsuit that was linked to the 2006 murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu.
“They destroyed me financially, there is no way anybody could go against them,” Deepak told Al Jazeera’s 101 East journalist Mary Ann Jolley in the interview aired yesterday morning titled “Malaysia: Power and Corruption”.
