Bar Council mulls suing PM over alleged obstruction of 1MDB probe
(MALAY MAIL ONLINE) – The Bar Council said today that it is considering suing Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak for allegedly interfering with the investigations on 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and the controversial RM2.6 billion donation deposited in his accounts.
Malaysian Bar president Steven Thiru highlighted the suspension of the Public Accounts Committee’s (PAC) investigation on the state investment fund as well as the removal of Tan Sri Gani Patail as Attorney-General and of top Special Branch officers.
“He’s definitely a possible defendant, looking at the way things have been going over the past two months,” Steven told a press conference after the Malaysian Bar’s extraordinary general meeting (EGM) that discussed the purported interference with the 1MDB investigations.
