Kuala Lumpur: An investigating officer from the police force told Najib Razak’s 1MDB trial that he classified a sum of US$681 million that entered the former prime minister’s accounts in 2013 as “proceeds from illegal activities”.
Bukit Aman commercial crime investigation department’s Foo Wei Min told the High Court that, based on investigations, the money which originated from a US$3 billion bond raised by 1MDB, entered Najib’s AmBank account between March 22 and April 10, 2013.Foo added that prior to the remittance, Najib’s account had an outstanding balance of RM879.8 million, which the witness said had originated from a “legitimate source”.
