MACC investigating officer Nur Aida Arifin told the High Court that Najib did not volunteer this information when an officer recorded his cautioned statement under Section 53 of the MACC Act.A recording officer was tasked to take Najib’s statement at the MACC headquarters on Sept 19 and 20, 2018, before he was charged.
Shafee then asked Aida why the officer did not ask Najib to elaborate on the meeting with King Abdullah, held on Jan 11, 2010.“Najib was free to add on any details as he wished as it was his statement of defence, but he did not do so,” she said. In the SRC case, Najib’s defence was that he believed the monies that were deposited into his private accounts were a donation from the king.
In 2013, he is said to have received US$681 million but returned US$620 million after the general election that year. Najib was expected to obtain 50 million pounds from the Saudi royal family but only received 10 million pounds in 2014.
