Bank Negara never told of three Arab donation letters addressed to Najib, says Zeti


KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara Malaysia was never made aware about three letters regarding Arab donation from an individual alleged to be a member of the Saudi royal family and which were addressed to former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, the High Court was told on Thursday (July 27).

Former Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz said the three letters, dated Nov 1, 2011; March 1, 2013 and June 1, 2014; had never been disclosed to the central bank and were only discovered during a joint raid by Negara Malaysia and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) at AmBank on July 6, 2015.
