ALL EYES ON NAJIB, ROSMAH: MACC summons Jho Low, 2 SRC directors over Najib's RM42 MIL

ALL EYES ON NAJIB, ROSMAH: MACC summons Jho Low, 2 SRC directors over Najib's RM42 MIL
KUALA LUMPUR - The noose appears to be closing around embattled Prime Minister Najib Razak's neck. The 62-year-old scandal-tainted leader is accused of massive corruption alongside with his famiily crony Jho Low.
But despite ham-fisted moves to block a high-level investigation into alleged wrongdoing, the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission dealt Najib a severe blow by issuing a summons for the cherubic-faced 34-year-old Jho, a close friend of Najib's wife's son Riza Aziz.
"This is a long overdue and significant step forward in the investigation against Najib and the RM42 million discovered in his personal bank accounts," a political source told Malaysia Chronicle.
'We hope the MACC will continue to honor the people's faith in them and bring all guilty parties to justice including those at the very highest post even if it is Najib himself."
All eyes on Najib and Rosmah: Will Jho return to help 'clear' Najib's name
In a statement released today, the MACC announced it had summoned businessman Jho Low or Low Taek Low and two SRC International Sdn Bhd directors to assist in investigations.
The SRC duo are managing director Nik Ariff Faisal Kamil and director Datuk Suboh Mohd Yassin.
MACC intelligence division director Datuk Azam Baki said the three are required to contact MACC investigating officers, Assistant Commissioner Rosli Husain at 010-3187757 or 03-88900752, or Assistant Commissioner Norkhafizin Isa at 019-6000345 or 03-88900754.
"They are required to be present at MACC special operations division at Level 7, Menara Prisma, Precinct 3, Pusat Pentadbiran Kerajaan Persekutuan, Putrajaya," said Azam.
It is not clear if the trio are in Malaysia or if they will respond to the summons. Jho Low is reportedly in hiding in 'extradition black-spot' Taiwan, where it will be difficult for Interpol to arrest him.
All eyes will be on Najib and his wife Rosmah for their response to the summons on Jho Low.
"We hope Najib will use his connections to persuade Jho to come forward. Najib's reaction and that of his wife Rosmah to the summons on Jho will be most interesting. If Jho is overseas, we hope the Najibs can contact him and ask to return to help clear Najib's name," said the political source.
Key players
According to the MACC statement, Nik Faisal, identity card number 710304-10-6303 and passport number is A31780240, has known addresses at No 17, Jalan Tun Teja 35/16, Alam Impian, Shah Alam Selangor and No 19, Jalan Tun Teja 35/16, Alam Impian, Shah Alam Selangor.

The last know address for Suboh, identity card number 510111-10-5521 and passport number D021678 and R016029, is 3-15-2, No 3, The Residence, Jalan Wan Kadir 5, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur.
Jho Low's identity card number is 811104-07-5701 and his last known address is 69, Tanjung Bungah Park, Tanjung Bungah, Penang.
"MACC urges anyone with information on the whereabouts of the men to contact Assistant Commissioner Rosli Husainn or Norkhafizin Isa or any MACC office," Azam said.
Complex web of corruption and plunder
According to The Malaysian Insider, Nik Faisal had also been 1MDB's chief investment officer at the same time as being executive director of investments at UBG Bank, while Low was coordinating the acquisition of the bank by PetroSaudi International, according to a report by whistle-blower website Sarawak Report.
SRC International was a subsidiary of 1MDB until it was placed under the Finance Ministry in February 2012. It had also taken a government-backed loan of RM4 billion from Retirement Fund Inc (KWAP), the government pension fund.
SRC International was named by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in its July 2 expose as one of the 1MDB-linked companies that was part of the trail of US$700 million (RM2.6 billion) that went to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's personal bank accounts.

According to WSJ and Sarawak Report, Nik Faisal had power of attorney over Najib’s accounts. Suboh is also a shareholder of Gandingan Mentari, which is another company that was part of the money trail.
Of the total amount, US$11.1 million (RM42 million) had originated from SRC International and was channelled into other companies – Gandingan Mentari and Ihsan Perdana – before it ended up in Najib's accounts in transactions conducted between December 2014 and February this year, according to WSJ, which cited documents from Malaysian government investigators.
It was reported previously that both Suboh and Nik Faisal were wanted by the MACC but both have since gone missing. MACC's probe into SRC International is over a RM4 billion bond sourced from KWAP.
The company's account was also frozen by investigators shortly after WSJ's report. Five people, including director of SRC International and a construction and property development firm's director, were remanded last month to assist in investigations and have since been released. - Malaysia Chronicle
