On June 21, the MACC filed civil forfeiture applications against 41 people and entities, including Umno, to recover RM270 million allegedly taken from 1MDB. MACC chief commissioner Latheefa Koya said the funds were allegedly transferred from Najib’s personal Ambank account. She said the commission had moved to file for civil forfeitures because there were provisions under the Anti-Money Laundering Act to recover the money without prosecuting.
Latheefa also said that some RM919 million from the 1MDB scandal had been recovered so far, including from Hollywood film production company Red Granite, Park Lane Hotel in New York and several others through the United States Department of Justice.
