FORMER prime minister Najib Razak was arrested today, at his residence in Jalan Langgak Duta.

The 1MDB special task force said in a brief statement that Najib was picked up at 2.35pm.

MACC chief commissioner Mohamad Shukri Abdul told the media that the former prime minister has been taken to the commission’s headquarters in Putrajaya for further questioning. Najib is to be held there overnight and taken to court tomorrow to face charges.

Najib is under investigation over allegations that billions of dollars were embezzled from the state-owned 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).

He has denied wrongdoing.

Najib has been questioned by the MACC a total of three times over the course of his nine years in office.

The first time was in 2015, followed by two other occasions in May this year after his Barisan Nasional coalition fell from power in the May 9 general election.

On all three occasions, Najib had been called in to give his statement on the transfer of funds from SRC International, a former subsidiary of 1MDB, to his personal bank account. – July 3, 2018.

  • This is what the rakyat has been waiting patiently to see him arrested. It is so obvious, he has been talking nonsense as if we are so stupid to be fooled by him.
