PETALING JAYA: Former 1MDB CEO Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi today denied making any deals with the public prosecutor in order to avoid criminal charges regarding the sovereign wealth fund.
“I was called by the CCID sometime in 2016 and 2017,” he said, referring to Bukit Aman’s Commercial Crime Department.Shahrol was replying to Najib’s lawyer, Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, on whether authorities launched investigations against him after the Public Accounts Committee in 2016 recommended that he be probed for financial irregularities.
“My passport was always with me,” he added. “The travel restrictions imposed against me in July 2018 were lifted in January.” “Some of them like Amhari, Azmi and you were not charged in court,” he added, referring to Najib’s former special officer Amhari Efendi Nazaruddin and former 1MDB chief financial officer Azmi Tahir.However, deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib objected, saying this was not a fair question.Najib was slapped with 25 charges of abuse of power and money laundering over alleged 1MDB funds amounting to RM2.28 billion deposited in his AmBank accounts between February 2011 and December 2014.
