Najib arrives at MACC for another round of questioning


KUALA LUMPUR: Former premier Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has returned to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for a fresh round of questioning.

He arrived at the MACC academy here at 4.58pm on Tuesday (Aug 7), with a small escort.

His entourage did not stop to address waiting pressmen.

Najib is expected to face several fresh charges under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (Amla) 2001 on Wednesday (Aug 8).

MACC sources earlier confirmed that the former prime minister will have a new set of charges arrayed against him.

Earlier Tuesday, photos of Najib's car leaving his Langgak Duta residence escorted went viral, resulting in heated speculation online.

On July 4, Najib was charged with three counts of criminal breach of trust and one count of using his position for gratification as part of a probe into money missing from 1MDB. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The charges are related to the RM42mil that allegedly went from SRC International into Najib's personal bank accounts.
