ABC’s ‘Four Corners’ clears Najib of stealing money
LSS
Yesterday’s ABC documentary ‘Four Corners: State of Fear’ done by the two Australians who tried to ambush Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak going into the mosque in Sarawak was aired on TV – including in Malaysia.
The documentary recycled a bunch of old allegations which I will post more on later.
However, the program did indeed have a new revelation
Their crew had been apparently shown the bank documents by an unnamed ‘high-level source’.
“The banking documents reveal an extraordinary and steady flow of money between 2011 and 2014.”
Among others, US$75 million came from a Saudi prince, while another US$80 million came from the Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Finance.
A further US$120 million supposedly came from an unnamed British Virgin Islands shell company.
The documentary also listed two transactions in March 2013 that supposedly came from another BVI company, totalling US$681 million. This is the often-reported RM2.6 billion political donation.
The total received by Najib, according to the documentary, was US$1.03 billion (RM4.14 billion) by April 10, 2013 – just over a month before GE13.
Now why would the Saudi Ministry of Finance send money directly to Najib’s accounts?
This is significant as this is no longer just a transfer from individuals in the Royal family but the actual Saudi Arabia Govt itself.
That Saudi MOF transfer is just one of the four transactions.
I do remember that MACC said they had interviewed the donor who confirmed that all four transactions were from Saudi and was a political contribution.
MACC had long ago said they have four letters for the four transfers lodged at the time of transfer – all from the same person. This means that the donor was sending funding to Najib via different accounts and sources – which is not unusual as you would expect the Saudi country and Royal family to have money all over the world and kept there for confidentiality purposes.
Which means the person who lodged the letter for the transfer from the Saudi Ministry of Finance was also the same person who lodged the letter for the 2013 RM2.6 billion transfer – which WSJ had claimed Najib had returned most of the money right after GE13.
And is this why Najib and our government does not want to reveal too much information on the deals?
That this is an official Saudi Govt covert initiative and it is not right for Najib and Malaysia to disclose other countries covert initiatives?
Is this also why the foreign media seems obsessed on this issue to find out how Saudi Arabia funds other countries and is trying to get an admission?
