Kuala Lumpur | Police and Malaysia’s anti-graft agency stated that the detained former Prime Minister Najib Razak will face at least two dozen fresh charges of abuse of power and money laundering over the multimillion-dollar looting of a state investment fund.
Najib will be brought to court on Thursday. The police have taken his custody after he was detained by the anti-graft agency on Wednesday over the transfer of 681 million into his bank account.
National deputy police chief Noor Rashid Ibrahim said, 21 of the charges involve the receiving, using and transferring of illicit funds. The anti-graft agency said Najib will face charges under a section of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act that involves abuse of power.
