Najib admits didn’t verify Saudi ‘donations’ with Wisma Putra
BY EMMANUEL SANTA MARIA CHIN
Testifying in his own defence against the misappropriation of RM42 million belonging to SRC International Sdn Bhd, Datuk Seri Najib Razak said he had not asked the Foreign Ministry to verify the source of the funds as the deposits were made not long after he met with Saudi monarch King Abdullah Abdulaziz Al-Saud in January 2010.
“The matter was made known to AmBank and all transactions and documents were reported to Bank Negara Malaysia and Tan Sri Zeti herself. Not once was the issue raised,” Najib said from the witness stand. He told the court he received them from Low, and stressed the Penang-born businessman shared a close relationship with the Middle Eastern monarchs.
