Ex-IGP Fuzi: Dr Mahathir, Muhyiddin, Daim asked in 2018 why Najib and 1MDB officials not yet charged; no interference in AG’s decision to charge
Fuzi said all these three prominent individuals had separately asked the police to provide a briefing to them on the status of police’s investigations on the 1MDB case, but also confirmed that these three did not interfere in then attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas’s decision to charge Najib. “Not long after that, around July 2018, I was personally contacted by Tun Mahathir to meet him at his residence at The Mines, since he was not satisfied that there were no charges brought in court on suspects in the 1MDB case, Datuk Seri Najib and other individuals still had not been charged in court,” Fuzi said in court here.
Also present at this briefing to Muhyiddin were the police’s Commercial Crime Investigation Department then director Datuk Seri Amar Singh, and SAC Datuk Khalil Azlan Chik as the head of the police’s anti-money laundering investigation. Fuzi said all the briefings were delivered by the 1MDB case’s investigation officer R. Rajagopal who had the ACP rank then.
Earlier, Fuzi agreed with the prosecution’s deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib that no one had made any decisions during those briefings, as it is the AG that decides whether there is sufficient evidence to press charges.Lastly, I suggest that because no decisions were made by these three individuals, therefore I put it to you, that there were no elements of interference in the decision made by the attorney general to charge Datuk Seri Najib in this case.
