Malaysian police question recipients of $972 million from Najib's account
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian police investigating a scandal at state fund 1MDB are questioning more than 50 individuals who received payments from a sum of $972 million that entered the personal bank account of former prime minister Najib Razak, an official said on Thursday.
A total of $4.5 billion was misappropriated by high-level officials of the fund, 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), and their associates, the U.S. Justice department has said.
“We are in the process of taking their statements,” Noor Rashid told a news conference. Asked if any of the 50 would be charged in the investigation, he replied, “There is a possibility.”
Najib has pleaded not guilty to money laundering charges against him this year in connection with a former 1MDB unit.
His lawyer was also charged with money laundering on Thursday.
