NAJIB QUESTIONED FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS
Amla cops quiz former PM on 1MDB, financial transactions dating back to 2011
FORMER prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was questioned for more than three hours by AntiMoney-Laundering (Amla) Unit policemen at Menara KPJ in Jalan Tun Razak here yesterday.
The Pekan member of parliament arrived at 9.40am, giving some 50 media representatives the slip by entering the building through an alternative entrance door.
It is understood that the Amla Unit investigators had questioned him about 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), as well as financial transactions dating back to 2011.
He left the building about 1pm, again using the alternative entrance, disappointing media representatives, who had been waiting as early as 8.30pm.
It was earlier reported that the federal police Commercial Crime Investigation Department would call Najib and his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, for questioning again.
On May 22, Najib was called in for the first time to have his statement recorded by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
He was questioned for four hours in connection with investigations into transactions involving SRC International Sdn Bhd, a former subsidiary of 1MDB.
Two days later, he was asked to present himself again and was questioned for seven hours.
Najib has since been charged with several counts under the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001.
