Najib was responding to questions from his lawyer, Wan Azwan Aiman Wan Fakhruddin, regarding allegations that Abdul Gani’s successor, Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali, had later closed the 1MDB case. “I’d like to add that neither Abdul Gani nor Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief at the time, sued the government for wrongful dismissal,” he said.
Najib denied involvement in disbanding the task force, stating there was no evidence linking him to the decision. He cited testimony from Zeti, who had said that Apandi informed task force members that the group was no longer needed and that agencies should continue their investigations independently.
