Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's warning against a hasty charge on the 1MDB scandal proved there is no solid evidence on the matter, former premier Najib Abdul Razak said today.
"He said without solid evidence, and if I am found not guilty by the courts, then all allegations and actions by Pakatan Harapan all this while will be questioned by the people.
"By saying this, Mahathir has admitted that Harapan made allegations against me without solid evidence.
"Now they want to justify their allegations by looking for 'evidence' whether it is true, fictitious, or made up," Najib wrote on his Facebook.
Mahathir had warned yesterday that haste in charging Najib could end up seeing the latter go free.
Najib said the remarks also proved that the alleged charge sheet against him in mid-2015 was not real, and part of a conspiracy by some in government to overthrow him.
He said it could not be possible for a charge sheet to be prepared if the MACC had not yet taken his statement at the time.
"I wish to repeat that I have never received any benefit or stolen money from 1MDB or any quarter.
"If I am charged for political reasons, I am confident the courts will prove that I am not guilty," he added.
Najib is accused of having received US$731 million allegedly misappropriated from 1MDB.
Probes into alleged wrongdoings involving 1MDB have intensified since Pakatan Harapan took over Putrajaya.
Last month, police seized RM114 million in cash of various currencies at Najib-linked condominium units in Pavilion Residences, Kuala Lumpur. - Mkini
