Nurul Izzah: Shift The Attention Back, I Want To See Najib's Bank Statement & The Money Trail
- 9 years ago
PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar has issued a letter of demand to the publisher of The New Straits Times and Berita Harian to retract their reports claiming she offered former PetroSaudi International employee Xavier Andre Justo US$2 million in contracts in exchange for information on 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
She said the claim by the government-controlled dailies was an attempt to shift public attention away from issues involving alleged wrongdoing by 1MDB and Najib, who had RM2.6 billion transferred to his personal accounts, a large portion of which was moved ahead of the last general election in 2013.
"The real question is not about Xavier Justo’s so-called stolen documents. It is about what those documents, together with reports by The Wall Street Journal, Sarawak Report and The Edge about the grand corruption, money laundering, embezzlement and electoral bribery allegations surrounding 1MDB," she said in the statement.
