Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua today said it is “crystal clear” that attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali has yet to verify the exact source of the donation deposited into Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s personal accounts.
“Therefore, he (Apandi) cannot conclusively dismiss the possibility that part of the US$4 billion of misappropriated funds by 1MDB did not find its way to Najib’s accounts.
“The link between 1MDB and Najib must be thoroughly investigated because of the circumstantial evidence surrounding the transactions,” said Pua, in referring to an ongoing probe by Swiss authorities into 1MDB.
Apandi had - in response to an official request for assistance from the Swiss attorney-general’s office - said that it was a separate case from Malaysia’s investigations into the RM2.6 billion donation supposedly received from a Middle Eastern donor.
Last week, Apandi had also cleared Najib of all allegations linked to the RM42 million from SRC International and the aforementioned political donation cases, based on the outcome of investigations by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
