Ex-BSI wealth planner Yeo Jiawei granted bail but stays in custody

The former BSI wealth planner who faces allegations of facilitating illicit transactions involving scandal- hit state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad was granted bail of $600,000 yesterday.

But Yeo Jiawei, who has been in remand for 41 days, must remain in custody as the prosecution said it will challenge the bail order in the High Court.

District Judge Christopher Goh ordered a stay of the bail order pending that hearing.

In addition, Yeo was ordered to not approach or speak to any of the prosecution witnesses directly or indirectly

Second Solicitor-General Kwek Mean Luck told the court yesterday that bail should be denied, given Yeo's "deplorable conduct in tampering with witnesses".

Mr Kwek said the risk of Yeo obstructing justice is deemed "so high" that the prosecution is prepared to work around the clock to expedite the matter for early trial of some of the nine charges against Yeo in two weeks.

But the prosecution alleged on Tuesday that he violated bail conditions on March 27 when he met Mr Kevin Swampillai, BSI's head of wealth management services, and Mr Samuel Goh, and told them "the time had come to 'collaborate' stories to provide a 'consistent response' to CAD if questioned" on funds that went to Bridgerock Investment, a firm Yeo controlled.

Mr Kwek noted that Yeo had contacted at least five different witnesses on five occasions between February and April.

Ang, the second person charged with corrupt transactions in this case, was released from remand this month on bail of $100,000.
