ON his second visit to the Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) this week, former prime minister Najib Razak managed to evade the press during his arrival in the morning and his departure about two hours later.

Najib was escorted to enter and leave by a separate entrance, said a police source of the former Umno president’s visit to the CCID to have his statement recorded again by the anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing prevention unit (Amla).

“He arrived about 10.15am,” the source said briefly.

Najib was called up by the Amla unit on Monday for clarification on a number of financial transactions, some dating as far back as 2011, believed to be pertaining to ongoing investigations into 1MDB.

Najib was charged with three counts of money laundering earlier this month, on top of the first four charges, over 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. – August 30, 2018.
