Riza Aziz can be charged in Malaysia though offence committed abroad, says DPP

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Even though the alleged offence committed by Riza Shahriz Abdul Aziz took place abroad, the stepson of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak could be charged in a Malaysian court.

Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib said Section 82(1)(e) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001 allowed prosecution against the people of the country, even though the offence was committed abroad.
