PETALING JAYA: Former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas"in principle" agreed to the terms of settlement with Riza Abdul Aziz over his money laundering charges related to 1MDB funds, says Attorney-General Tan Sri Idrus Harun.
Idrus, who took office in March this year after Thomas resigned a month earlier, said he acted upon advise of his predecessor's position on the case. The statement by Idrus came following Thomas disputing the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s claim implicating him in the decision of the case involving Riza.
Riza, who is the stepson of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, was given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court over five counts of money laundering charges involving US$248mil linked to 1MDB.
