Najib was not asked about funds transfer, says MACC witness

KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigating officer in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) probe did not ask Datuk Seri Najib Razak about a US$700mil (RM3.3bil at current rates) transfer to a company linked to fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, the High Court has heard.

Senior officer Nur Aida Arifin said she had inquired about the matter with former 1MDB CEO Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi instead, and that the information was sufficient.
