1MDB case status unchanged following Najib’s conditional pardon, says MACC
Its chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman says each case must be handled separately based on the issues and investigations involved.
The status of the 1MDB case involving former Prime Minister Najib Razak remains unchanged following his conditional pardon, according to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman. Halim emphasized that each case must be handled independently, taking into account the specific allegations and issues involved.
The MACC chief stated that cases still pending will continue as usual, and the current status quo does not change due to Najib's pardon. When asked about the impact of the conditional pardon on the ongoing 1MDB case and appeal, Halim clarified that one investigation cannot be equated with another, as each involves different matters.
He explained that the focus of each investigation is the specific issues being examined and any complaints received, necessitating a unique approach to every case. In a recent decision, the Yang diPertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim granted Najib a conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided he pays a RM50 million fine.
The legal affairs division of the Prime Minister's Department announced this decision at the 64th meeting of the Federal Territories Pardons Board held at Istana Negara.
