1MDB has reiterated that it has not paid any funds to the personal accounts of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

In a statement today, 1MDB said, contrary to the Wall Street Journal ’s ( WSJ ) baseless and unproven allegations, it has consistently maintained that it has not paid any funds to the personal accounts of the prime minister.

“This has been reiterated by multiple lawful authorities, including the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, the attorney-general of Malaysia and various reputable international publications, and they have confirmed that these funds came from Saudi Arabia.

“To therefore suggest, as the WSJ has, that their reporting on this matter has never been called into question, is not only disingenuous but an outright lie,” 1MDB said.
