1MDB TRIAL | Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak contended that his step son Riza Aziz made Hollywood blockbusters with “clean money”, not with unlawful funds as claimed by the prosecution.

During the RM2.27 billion 1MDB abuse of power and money laundering trial against him, Najib denied prosecutors’ claim that he tried to get the help of a United Arab Emirates (UAE) royalty to come up with a sham loan agreement to make the money that Riza (above) received to look legitimate.
