Bar Council: Najib's Best Interest To Support Formation Of A Royal Commission of Inquiry Into 1MDB

Kuala Lumpur 12/09/2015 - The Bar Council will initiate legal action against public officers who may have obstructed the course of justice in investigations into the transfer of RM2.6 billion into Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's personal bank accounts.
President of the Malaysian Bar Steven Thiru said those named in the suit could include the prime minister, as well as other public officers who were seen to have interfered with investigations into the RM2.6 billion deposits and allegations of financial impropriety involving 1MDB and its related companies.
The Malaysian Bar voted earlier today at its EGM to give a mandate to the Bar Council to initiate legal action over the purported obstruction of 1MDB investigations, besides calling for a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate alleged financial impropriety involving 1MDB, the RM2.6 billion transfer, as well as the flow of RM42 million from former 1MDB subsidiary, SRC International, into Najib’s personal bank accounts.
