A-G promises detailed study of MACC papers on RM2.6 billion, SRC
(The Malaysian Insider) – Attorney-General Tan Sri Apandi Ali gave his word he would go through in detail the investigation papers submitted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on SRC International and the RM2.6 billion deposited in the prime minister’s account, but said he needed time to do so.
“I’m studying it and you must bear in mind they have collected evidence from 100 over witnesses, it’s not one file, it’s as high as me.
“And bear in mind I have to go through it thoroughly and I assure you I will go through the evidence with a fine-tooth comb,” he told reporters at the Opening of the 2016 Legal Year in Kuala Lumpur today.
On December 31, MACC deputy commissioner Datuk Seri Mohd Shukri Abdull said the agency had handed over investigations papers after interviewing more than 100 people, including the donor of the RM2.6 billion.
MACC said it had also been investigating SRC International over a RM4 billion fund, and not 1MDB. Shukri had said that the probe into the RM2.6 billion was separate, adding that it was not completed as only witnesses in Malaysia had been interviewed.
He said MACC had yet to obtain documents and statements involving overseas financial transactions, and it was seeking the A-G’s help to get these through mutual legal assistance.
Datuk Seri Najib Razak has denied the RM2.6 billion in his personal bank accounts was from 1MDB, or that the money was for his personal gain.
