The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has called up former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to record a statement over an investigation, reportedly into the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and other cases.
An MACC source said Najib arrived at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya at about 10 am.
This would mark Najib’s fifth round of questioning by MACC over 1MDB-related cases.
He is now facing a total of 32 criminal charges – seven over RM42 million linked to a former 1MDB unit, and 25 in relation to over RM2 billion in funds that are linked to 1MDB.
His charges range from criminal breach of trust, abuse of power under an anti-corruption law and also money-laundering.
Najib’s wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, has been charged with 17 counts of money-laundering offences over a sum of almost RM7.1 million.
Trial for both Najib and Rosmah over their alleged criminal offences has yet to start.
It has been reported that the Commercial Crime Investigation Department at Bukit Aman will call up Najib and his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, again to obtain additional information from them over the investigation.
