ROSMAH Mansor, the wife of former prime minister Najib Razak, arrived at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya this morning, where she has been summoned for questioning.

Wearing a blue baju kurung and red headscarf, Rosmah alighted from her white Mercedes Benz accompanied by her lawyers. Najib was not seen accompanying her as she walked into the building.

Rosmah was, however, accompanied by her daughter, Nooryana Najwa, and Nooryana’s husband, Daniyar Kessibayev, the Kazakhstan president’s nephew she married in a lavish wedding in 2015.

Rosmah departed from her home in Langgak Duta, Kuala Lumpur, about 10.15am this morning for the anti-graft agency’s office, accompanied by a four-car convoy.

Rosmah is scheduled to have her statement taken at 11am over MACC’s probe into SRC International, a subsidiary of the troubled 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) state fund.

Najib was called in several times to give his statement last week at the MACC.

The couple’s fall from grace came days after Najib became the first sitting Malaysian prime minister to lose a general election on May 9. His house and several apartments linked to his family had been raided, with police carting away 72 luggage bags and 284 handbag boxes.

Police also seized an estimated RM114 million in cash in 26 currencies from Najib’s private residences.

Three years ago, Najib was investigated over allegations that he received stolen RM42 million that was funnelled from SRC International, and US$731 million (RM2.6 billion) from Tanore Finance Corp.

The RM42 million was allegedly illegally transferred into his personal bank account at AmBank.

MACC opened investigation papers into SRC International in 2015 but was stymied after then attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail was sacked.

Abdul Gani’s replacement, Apandi Ali, then cleared Najib of all wrongdoing.

Apandi was earlier today sacked and replaced with top lawyer and constitutional expert Tommy Thomas. – June 5, 2018.
