Najib cabar penyiasat 1MDB berhubung aliran dana USD620 juta
Peguam utama Shafee Abdullah bangkitkan bahawa pengarah siasatan Kroll Advisory Ltd hanya mula siasat 2 bulan selepas 1MDB fail saman terhadap bekas PM.
The defense in a civil lawsuit against former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has challenged a Kroll Advisory Ltd investigator, Richard Templeman, over his role in the investigation. Kroll Advisory Ltd was hired by 1MDB to probe a USD620 million transfer to a company. Lawyer Shafee Abdullah, representing Najib, questioned Templeman's investigator's ability to fully investigate the movement of the USD620 million.
Templeman stated he was unaware if the money returned to Najib, but confirmed he had investigated related issues. During cross-examination, Shafee highlighted that Najib allegedly received USD681 million and returned USD620 million, a significant portion of the funds. When asked if he was certain about the matter, Templeman denied having any evidence of such.
Shafee also questioned whether Templeman was investigating whether the money moved through Najib's account had been approved by the Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM). Templeman stated he had not examined the relevant documents. Shafee argued that Templeman was not investigating the matter, while Templeman rejected the suggestion, saying it was inaccurate.
Templeman was appointed after the lawsuit was filed, and it was revealed he was brought in only to support the existing claims. Templeman denied any improper conduct by Najib, as stated in his statement.
