July 22, 2016, 11.33pm - Mohammed Zayed Al Nahyan calls Najib Abdul Razak [Click here for audio recording]
Najib: Yes?
Man: Ready to speak with His Highness?
Najib: Yes, I’m ready. Yeah, I’m ready, yeah.
Mohammed: Mr Prime Minister, I apologise for being late.
Najib: (Laugh) You’re very prompt, not to worry, Your Highness.
Mohammed: Mr Prime Minister, I have consulted my guys here and I’m fine with Sunday but the catch is (inaudible)... It will be unproductive for you and me (to meet), so I try to find another solution.
Mr Prime Minister, Khaldoon has the full authority from me. I really genuinely want to find a solution to this problem.
Najib: Okay.
Mohammed: I think it is very important that somebody meets you. (Inaudible) is fine with you and fine with us, I think we should go for it. I don’t want to push this anymore, it is in our interest, Mr Prime Minister, to solve it.
Najib: Yes, it is our mutual interest, Your Highness. So you don’t think I should fly over? Do you think people will know about it?
Mohammed: I think... will know about it, yes.
Najib: I see. Uhh… mmm, mmm, mmm. But we really need to resolve this.
Mohammed: I can let him go there.
Najib: You want Khaldoon to come here?
Mohammed: I think Khaldoon can go there, Mr Prime Minister, and your minister can come and...
Najib: When can Khaldoon come here?
Mohammed: I will call him now. He’s in California for a visit, but I can let him snap and shoot from there.
Najib: I also have this personal request, Your Highness.
Mohammed: Yes?
Najib: That relates to Riza (above). You know, my son.
Mohammed: Yes.
Najib: And his movie. You see the problem is relatively small. There can be an agreement with Sheikh Mansour to have a loan agreement signed, and he will pay back according to his schedule. That will show that it is a legitimate financing package and it is not money laundering.
Mohammed: I see.
Najib: At the moment, he is under a bit of pressure in America, and we are worried about him. They are making him a scapegoat, you see.
I would appreciate, the big package looks positive, we can find a solution I believe, uhh. I would appreciate if that agreement can be signed quickly by Sheikh Mansour or whoever is designated by Sheikh Mansour, so that he can begin repayment.
He’s paid back some, he continues to repay, so that it would appear as a legitimate loan agreement, which it is, you see. Because when he received it, the banks cleared the source of money so he was not aware at all where it came from.
So I don’t want him to be a victim when he was totally unaware of the source of money. He genuinely believed that it was from Aabar and under the instruction of Sheikh Mansour, you see.
Remember, Your Highness, also talked about helping him when he was in Abu Dhabi?
Mohammed: (Inaudible).
Najib: That’s right. So I need that agreement to be sorted out quickly, Your Highness, that’s my special request. As soon as possible, if Monday or Tuesday we need this to have the agreement signed. Can you suggest how we can do that?
Mohammed: (Inaudible) Mr Prime Minister (inaudible)... if it within my power (inaudible). I understand that this is your son and I really want to...
Najib: Yeah, that’s right, because he is totally innocent. All he wanted was to make movies, and there was an offer of a loan from Sheikh Mansour and your side from Aabar, and also you mentioned it. Remember? When we had lunch at the restaurant about supporting him so he thought everything was fine, you see. Now, they’re trying to connect him with 1MDB money, which totally… came as a shock to him.
Mohammed: Mr Prime Minister, InsyaAllah.
Najib: But time is of the essence, Your Highness, we cannot leave it a day longer, we don’t want the Department of Justice to suddenly move against him, you see.
Mohammed: (Inaudible).
Najib: Thank you, Your Highness. Where do we go from here then? He’s got all the documents with him.
Mohammed: (Inaudible) Khaldoon right now. I will see how we can, (inaudible)... to see how they can arrange anything immediately.
