SEREMBAN: Although the government has confirmed that Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor did not purchase a 22-carat pink diamond, this does not cancel out the fact that the jewel was nonetheless eventually bought with funds allegedly siphoned from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), says Rafizi Ramli.
The PKR vice-president said the fact remained that in 2017, there were filings by the United States' Department of Justice in a civil lawsuit, which alleged that 1MDB funds were used to purchase the US$27mil pink diamond to be gifted to the former premier's wife.
Rafizi cited an Al-Jazeera interview in October last year, where Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the diamond was a gift from United Arab Emirates prince Sheikh Mansour, the brother of Dubai crown prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, who wanted to present the diamond to Rosmah."He said the crown prince of Dubai wanted it as a gift for Rosmah. He admitted that it exists; he admitted that it was for Rosmah but he told Al-Jazeera he never saw it and didn't know who received it.
Najib could say what he wanted, said the former Pandan MP, but it would be his words against the filing in the US.
