MACC: RM2.6b in Najib’s account from ‘donors’, not 1MDB

The RM2.6 billion that had been deposited into Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s accounts had come from ‘donors’ and not 1MDB, MACC said in a statement August 3, 2015. — Picture by Saw Siow FengThe RM2.6 billion that had been deposited into Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s accounts had come from ‘donors’ and not 1MDB, MACC said in a statement August 3, 2015. — Picture by Saw Siow FengKUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 — Malaysia’s graftbusters confirmed today that RM2.6 billion had been deposited into Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s accounts but said the funds came from “donors” and not 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) as previously alleged.
In a statement to announce its findings, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) did not, however, disclose the identities of these donors or the purpose of the contribution, as well as how the money was spent.
“The report resulting from the investigation involving the RM2.6 billion has been referred and informed to the Attorney-General.
“The result of the investigation found that the fund totalling RM2.6 billion allegedly deposited into the accounts of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was a contribution from donors, and not from 1MDB,” the commission said in the statement.
MACC also said its focus in the special task force on the scandal-plagued fund is only on 1MDB subsidiary SRC International Sdn Bhd and the RM2.6 billion in question, while other aspects are left to the police and Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).
MACC also said its focus in the special task force on the scandal-plagued fund is only on former 1MDB subsidiary SRC International Sdn Bhd and the RM2.6 billion in question, while other aspects are left to the police and Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).
MACC also said that it is still continuing its investigations into SRC International’s RM4 billion loan from the Retirement Fund Inc.
“MACC again gives its assurance that the investigation will be done freely, transparently and professionally. We hope every party will be patient and give MACC the space to conduct its investigation comprehensively,” it said.
This comes after MACC said last week that there were no draft charge sheets prepared against Najib as alleged by whistleblower site Sarawak Report, as the graft probe on SRC Internatonal had yet to be completed.
Pictures of the purported document were published last week by Sarawak Report, which claimed to have obtained a copy of corruption charges against Najib that were in the final stages of being drafted by Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail before he was replaced as Attorney-General, and one other person connected to the 1MDB controversy.
In a report in June, US-based daily Wall Street Journal (WSJ), citing documents from Malaysian investigators currently scrutinising the troubled 1MDB’s financials, claimed that a money trail showed that US$700 million (RM2.6 billion) were moved among government agencies, banks and companies before it ended up in Najib’s accounts.
Najib has repeatedly denied taking funds from 1MDB or any other public entity for “personal gain” and his lawyers have since asked the WSJ to state if it is accusing the prime minister of misappropriating funds.
The special task force leading a separate probe on 1MDB said last month that two bank accounts held by Najib in AmBank were already closed long before an investigation was launched against the misappropriation.
