The allegation that 2 million ringgit ($5,29,000) were deposited into the accounts of Rosmah Manor, wife of Najib Razak, is another blow to the embattled Malaysian Prime Minister, who himself is being investigated on suspicion that hundreds of millions of dollars were funnelled from state investment fund 1MDB into his personal accounts.
Allegations that 2 million ringgit ($5,29,000) were deposited into the accounts of Rosmah Mansor earlier this year.
Malaysian authorities are investigating allegations that 2 million
ringgit ($5,29,000) were deposited into the accounts of the wife of
embattled Prime Minister Najib Razak earlier this year.
The allegation against Rosmah Mansor is another blow to Mr. Razak, who
himself is being investigated on suspicion that hundreds of millions of
dollars were funnelled from state investment fund 1MDB into his personal
accounts.
The Sarawak Report website reported on Thursday that investigations into
1MDB showed the money was deposited into Ms. Mansor’s account in a
local bank in eight transactions earlier this year.
Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail said Friday the task force is aware
of the allegation against Ms. Mansor and that an investigation was under
way.
‘Menacing and false’
Ms. Mansor’s lawyers say the news report is “menacing and false” and denied she took money from 1MDB.
