1MDB scandal: Malaysia’s former PM 'asked UAE to fake evidence' | World news | The Guardian:
Malaysia’s former prime minister, Najib Razak, allegedly sought help from the United Arab Emirates’ crown prince to fake evidence in an effort to cover up for the 1MDB scandal, according to audio clips revealed by Malaysian anti-corruption officials.
Najib rejected the allegations. The UAE government communication office, the National Media Council, which also represents the palace, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) played audio clips for the media of nine telephone conversations from 2016 that it believes are linked to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) multibillion dollar scandal.
Besides Najib, the MACC said UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, Najib’s wife, Rosmah Mansor, and Malaysian and Emirati officials were on the calls.
