Call to probe how WSJ obtained private banking documents


PETALING JAYA: The authorities should investigate as to how The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) got its hands on banking documents that allegedly show the money trail from 1MDB to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s personal bank accounts.

Cheras Umno chief Datuk Seri Syed Ali Alhabshee said that while the police, Bank Negara Malaysia, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and the Attorney-General’s Chambers investigated the case, they should also determine how WSJ had obtained the papers in the first place.
