KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 — The government task force on 1Malaysia Development Berhad in 2015 was not set up with the aim of charging then prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak or to cause a change in the federal government, Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz told the High Court today.
Najib’s lead defence lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah zeroed in on the 2015 task force composed of the task force’s then head attorney-general Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, then Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed, then inspector-general of police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, and Zeti.
Shafee then tried to suggest that the task force was aimed at getting Najib charged, but Zeti said the task force did not even know in 2015 that Najib’s bank account funds were linked to 1MDB.I’m putting it to you, the real reason behind that formation and you were aware of it, was to find a way to charge the serving prime minister and to cause a change in the government.That is not correct.
Shafee suggested that then IGP Khalid had moved away from the task force because he allegedly “knew there’s something rotten”, but Zeti said she was not aware of this claim.
