Tommy Thomas claims he did not agree to a deal to recover millions of ringgit from Riza Aziz, but MACC chief Azam Baki says decisions are based on prosecutors involved in the case.
MACC chief Azam Baki was responding to Thomas who reportedly denied that he had agreed to the settlement with Riza, the stepson of former prime minister Najib Razak who was given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court today over his money laundering case.“We inform the public about what’s happening. That’s all,” Azam told FMT.
Azam stood by the anti-graft agency’s statement, saying a deputy public prosecutor involved in the case had said that Thomas’ agreed with the decision. However, he said there was no agreement to drop the charges before he resigned as attorney-general, adding that it was false and fabricated to say that he gave his agreement.
