(UTV|COLOMBO) – Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was today (22) being questioned by Anti-Corruption Police about a graft scandal that could lead to criminal charges against him, The Australian reported.
He was summoned nearly two-weeks after the defeat of his long-ruling coalition in national elections, a loss partly due to public anger over alleged corruption at the 1MDB State investment fund that Mr. Najib set up.
The United States (US) Investigators say Mr. Najib’s associates stole and laundered $4.5 billion from the fund, some of which landed in Mr Najib’s bank account.
