Saudi minister believes funds given to Najib were investment, not donation


PETALING JAYA: A Saudi Arabia minister believed that the funds that went to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's personal account was an investment rather than a political donation.

Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir (pic) said this although he accepted the Attorney-General's opinion that there had been no wrongdoing, he also said that he did not think the money had come from the Saudi government or that it was a political donation.
