FORMER treasury secretary-general Irwan Serigar Abdullah and former prime minister Najib Razak are expected to be arrested tomorrow in relation to the 1Malaysia Development Bhd scandal before being charged on Thursday, Umno sources said.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, two Umno Supreme Council members told The Malaysian Insight that they were preparing to gather outside the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission headquarters in Putrajaya if the two were arrested.
“We heard that they will be arrested tomorrow and charged on Thursday,” the source said without elaborating.
Earlier reports had stated that former spy chief Hasanah Abdul Hamid will also be charged on Thursday. All three are expected to be charged separately.
The Malaysian Insight has contacted Attorney-General Tommy Thomas for confirmation and is awaiting his response.
It was earlier reported that Najib and Irwan had been summoned for questioning at the MACC headquarters at 2pm tomorrow.
The duo will be questioned on dealings between 1MDB and Abu Dhabi wealth fund International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC).
A source told The Malaysian Insight that the two will have their statements recorded but declined to provide more details.
Other reports stated that the two will also be charged on Thursday, with Najib likely to face another six charges. Najib was previously charged with 32 counts of corruption, money laundering and abuse of power in relation to money the authorities said came from 1MDB.
Hasanah, who is former Malaysian External Intelligence Organisation (MEIO) director, is expected to be charged in connection with the alleged misappropriation of US$12 million (RM49.91), which was allegedly brought into the country through Kuala Lumpur International Airport just before the 14th general election.
She will reportedly be brought to the KL Sessions Court about 8am to be charged under Section 409 of the Penal Code.
Hasanah and eight other intelligence officers were remanded for several days after the anti-graft agency seized US$6.3 million from several locations. The largest stash, US$4.07 million, was found in a rented condominium in Cyberjaya. β October 23, 2018.
