‘Thomas agreed in principle’

Idrus: ‘Thomas had said that in light of the proposals outlined by Riza’s solicitors, he was prepared to consider the representation.’

PETALING JAYA: The Attorney General has explained the steps leading to the terms of settlement with Riza Abdul Aziz over money-laundering charges related to the 1MDB funds, to which he said Tan Sri Tommy Thomas “agreed in principle”.

Tan Sri Idrus Harun, who took office in March after Thomas resigned a month earlier, said he acted upon the advice of his predecessor’s position on the case.
