Status of Najib’s 1MDB Investigations Remains Unchanged – MACC

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will continue its investigations into 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) corruption cases involving Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman said the status of investigations involving the former prime minister remains unchanged.

“We have to understand that every case is different. One case cannot be treated the same as another.

“In other words, an investigation focuses specifically on what is being investigated in relation to an issue raised or a complaint lodged.

“So, as far as you are concerned, cases that are still pending will remain as they are. Regardless of what others may say, if there are matters that the MACC believes need to be pursued, the status quo remains,” he said.

Yesterday, Sultan Ibrahim, Yang di-Pertuan Agong, granted Najib a conditional pardon allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028, provided he pays the RM50 million fine.

The matter was announced by the Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister’s Department (BHEUU, JPM) in a statement today.

The decision was made with the consent of Sultan Ibrahim, Yang di-Pertuan Agong, who chaired the Federal Territories Pardons Board meeting.
