NAJIB Razak was today questioned by the police under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (Amla) pertaining to their ongoing investigations into 1MDB.

A source close to the investigation confirmed the matter but did not disclose further details in relation to the probe.

The questioning was done at the Commercial Crime Investigation unit (CCID) headquarters at Menara 238 on Jalan Tun Razak.

It is understood that the former prime minister arrived for questioning at about 10am and left about an hour later.

Najib was charged with three counts of money laundering under Amla earlier this month, on top of four earlier charges with regard to the RM42 million from SRC International found in his personal account.

The three deposits – amounting to RM27 million, RM5 million and RM 10 million respectively, were found to have been wired into his AmIslamic Bank account between December 26, 2014, and February 10, 2015.

Earlier, it was reported that some 16 items, including jewellery, cash, foreign cash and luxury handbags, confiscated from six properties linked to Najib, were being probed under Amla 2001. – August 27, 2018.
