1MDB LEAK DEAL: EX-PETROSAUDI EXEC SUES THE EDGE OWNER IN SINGAPORE COURT
He also cited WhatsApp exchanges between Mr Tong, two other people and himself as evidence, as well as meetings in Bangkok and Singapore between himself and Mr Tong and/or others. These allegedly included two meetings with Ms Clare Rewcastle-Brown, the owner and editor of The Sarawak Report, in a Bangkok hotel in 2014.

Details of the alleged deal behind the leaks that spawned claims about the misappropriation of billions at a Malaysian state investment firm linked to Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak may well unravel in the High Court in Singapore.
Swiss national Xavier Andre Justo, the man allegedly behind the leaks, is suing the owner of Malaysia's The Edge media group Tong Kooi Ong and two others for damages.
Justo claims that he handed over two data storage drives in Mr Tong's presence at a Fullerton Hotel meeting in February last year in return for US$2 million (S$2.7 million) - money which he never received.
He wants the items - which contain data about global oil services firm PetroSaudi and its business partner 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) - to be returned and for any copies to be destroyed, according to court documents filed last November.
