1MDB task force not set up to ‘unseat’ Najib as PM, Zeti tells court FMTNews FMTEng
In the High Court today, Zeti Akhtar Aziz denied knowledge of the existence of draft criminal charges prepared against former prime minister Najib Razak in 2015 relating to his role in the 1MDB saga.
“When the task force first met in 2015, there was no knowledge of a connection between 1MDB funds and Najib’s bank account. “I am not aware there were draft charges ,” she said, when asked about purported “leaked” charges against Najib.Zeti also denied that her role as a member of the Council of Eminent Persons established in 2018 placed her in a position of conflict of interest.
The lawyer had suggested that Zeti was in a conflict of interest as her husband and children had allegedly received funds from Low Taek Jho, the fugitive who is better known as Jho Low. Separately, Zeti told the court she is hoping that the police investigation into her husband, Tawfiq Ayman, would conclude quickly.
