The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has been urged to proceed with its invesatigations into former 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) subsidiary SRC International Sdn Bhd and the source of the contentious RM2.6 billion transfer into Prime Minister Najib Razak’s personal bank accounts in 2013.
The MACC’s Operational Assessment Panel had advised the commission to proceed probing the cases this morning.
“The Operational Assessment Panel requested that we issue a public statement on this matter.
“The panel agreed that MACC should resubmit its investigation papers on SRC International to the Attorney-General for revision.” the commission said in a statement released today, as quoted by mStar.
On the matter of the RM2.6 billion transfer into the PM’s bank accounts, the MACC said it was advised by the same panel to continue its investigations, as the commission had not yet exhausted all avenues of inquiry.
“The MACC will also enlist the help of the Attorney-General’s Chambers to issue a statement of Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) in order to obtain evidence and documents from foreign financial institutions as part of the probe into the RM2.6 billion,” the commission’s statement said.
Attorney-General Apandi Ali on January 26 declared that there was no case to be made against Najib in relation to the RM2.6 billion “political donation from a Saudi royal”, as he had deemed the transaction a personal matter.
Apandi also ordered the MACC to drop its investigations into the transfer.
