THE DOJ IS COMING! AS U.S. AUTHORITIES CONFIRM THEY WILL WORK WITH MAHATHIR’S GOVT, NICELY-DRESSED NAJIB GOES OUT – HIS DESTINATION NOT KNOWN YET

PETALING JAYA: The United States Department of Justice (DoJ) said that it is looking forward to partnering with Malaysian authorities to scrutinise 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) transactions.
In a statement issued to The Star in response to questions including on whether the recent change of government in Malaysia would improve cooperation between DoJ and authorities here, the department said the US will continue to pursue its 1MDB investigation on behalf of the victims.
“The United States Department of Justice looks forward to working with Malaysian law enforcement authorities in investigating transactions related to 1MDB,” a DoJ spokesperson said.
The US filed forfeiture complaints in 2016 and 2017 seeking to recover over US$1.7bil in assets traceable to funds allegedly misappropriated from 1MDB, as part of the DoJ’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative.
The spokesperson said the DoJ is committed to ensuring that the US and its financial system are not threatened by corrupt individuals and kleptocrats who seek to hide their ill-gotten wealth.
“Whenever possible, recovered assets will be used to benefit the people harmed by these acts of corruption and abuse of office,” the spokesperson added.

Najib’s white MPV among three-car convoy leaving Taman Duta residence

KUALA LUMPUR: It is a quiet Wednesday morning at Langgak Duta as only a handful of reporters are still camped out in front of Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s residence here.
A convoy of three vehicles including Najib’s white Toyota MPV was seen leaving the residence at around 9.52am.
It is not yet known where he was headed.
On Tuesday (May 22), Najib was questioned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission for several hours over the probe into SRC International Sdn Bhd, a former subsidiary of the controversial 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
Najib, who wore a blue blazer, said his statement on SRC was a continuation of what he gave to MACC in 2015.
“My statement is a continuation of that, with verified documents and details as required by the MACC,” he said.
The former prime minister thanked the officers who questioned him for their professionalism.
Najib revealed that he was questioned from 10am to 2.15pm, with a 30-minute break in between.
The anti-graft agency served the former premier notice on Friday (May 18) to seek his cooperation over the investigations.
Najib has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to 1MDB since the scandal erupted in 2015, but he replaced an attorney-general and several MACC officers to allegedly shut down an investigation.
Najib has said the RM2.6bil (US$681mil) of funds deposited in his personal bank account were a donation from a Saudi royal, rebutting reports that it came from 1MDB.
Now answering to a different prime minister, the MACC has reopened its investigation, initially focusing on how RM42mil (US$10.6mil) went from SRC International to Najib’s account.
SRC was created in 2011 by Najib’s government to pursue overseas investments in energy resources, and was a unit of 1MDB until it was moved to the Finance Ministry in 2012.
