Jeweller reveals details of US$23m diamond necklace deal with Rosmah
- 2 years ago
Prestigious New York jeweller Lorraine Schwartz told a US court that she secured a US$23 million (RM97 million) deal to sell Rosmah Mansor a 22-carat diamond necklace.
Schwartz said this in her statement which prosecutors entered into court records in the trial against former Goldman Sachs banker Roger Ng.
The evidence provided by Schwartz contradicted former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's claim in 2018 that the diamond was a gift from United Arab Emirates’ Sheikh Mansour Zayed.
According to Bloomberg, Schwartz was contacted by 1MDB-linked businessperson Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low, in June 2013 to create a "pink diamond necklace with a heart-shaped gem".
