The investigation papers for two cases involving Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak were returned to investigators for further clarification, said Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi Ali today.
The two cases are the investigation into the RM2.6 billion found in Najib’s bank accounts and the RM42 million allegedly funnelled to Najib, through former 1MDB subsidiary SRC International.
“After reviewing the testimonies in the investigation papers, we have today returned the papers to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to get more details on the course of action recommended by MACC,” said Apandi in a statement.
The investigation papers were submitted to the MACC on Dec 31, 2015.
Among others, the MACC recorded the statements of SRC International directors and Najib.
What do you do when landed with a sizzling hot potato?
Apandi, a truly seasoned time-server from the venomous snake-pit of UMNO politics has shown his ready answer – you pass it on to someone else.
In this case there was no one else to pass it on to but the original people who handed it to him.
So, Apandi has decided to hand the dossier back to the MACC and demand a less awkward version be prepared.
But, what is he going to do with all the evidence on which that dossier was based? Evidence which has now been disseminated to the four corners of the globe and throughout all the UMNO bigwigs?
