Late Saudi king’s son is RM2.6b donor, says Apandi
(Malaysiakini) – A son of the late Saudi king was the person who donated RM2.6 billion to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, revealed attorney-general Mohamad Apandi Ali.
However, he refused to provide the identity of the donor.”We know his (the donor) name. He is not the late Saudi King but the son of the king. He is still alive,” the top prosecutor was quoted by Sinchew Daily in an exclusive interview.
Apandi said that Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission officers has obtained a statement from the donor as detailed in the anti-graft body’s report.
He also insisted that the motive behind the donation is not important as such a donation is not illegal under Malaysian law.
“Why are people asking for the reason of the donation? You have to ask the donor. He has billions in his coffers. (If) he wanted to give the money, what’s the problem?
“This is his money and his personal matter. We don’t have a law to state receiving political donation is illegal,” added Apandi.
