Proof that the charges against Najib are part of a sham

September 23, 2018 Raggie Jessy

Najib was ‘accused’ of receiving RM2.08 billion from Tanore, which isn’t much of an accusation, considering that he was alleged to have returned RM2.187 billion to the same company!

Furthermore, a 2015 investigation paper that Dato’ Seri Mohd Shukri Abdull himself prepared stated in no uncertain terms that a representative of the Saudi Royal family had acted as a “trusted associate” when channelling donations to Najib through Tanore.

But today, the MACC under Shukri’s own watch is claiming that the money was laundered by Najib because it was channelled through Tanore.

Makes sense?

How could Shukri be the head of the MACC while the agency charges Najib over accusations that run contrary to entries he (Shukri) himself made in 2015?

THE THIRD FORCE

On the 19^th of June 2018, Dr Mahathir Mohamad told Reuters that the Government of Malaysia (GoM) planned to charge Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak on counts of embezzlement and bribery. According to him, investigators in Malaysia had “an almost perfect case” against principal suspects who defrauded 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and embezzled billions from the fund. But on Thursday, the 21^st of Spetember 2018, Najib pleaded not guilty to 21 counts and four counts of power abuse, none of which had anything to do with “embezzlement of funds from 1MDB” or “bribery” related to the fund.

So where is the “almost perfect case” Mahathir spoke of?

You tell me.

On the 30^th of August 2018, Dato’ Seri Azam Baki of the MACC announced that renewed investigations into 1MDB were 60 percent complete and that the gathering of statements and recording of evidence had been wrapped up. What Baki said was more or less what Dato’ Seri Mohd Shukri Abdull said soon after Pakatan Harapan (PH) won the 14^th general election. But on the 19^th of June 2018, Mahathir told newsmen that investigators had “an almost perfect case” and could charge Najib with embezzlement and bribery.

Well, where is that case?

And who’s telling the truth?

So the charges had nothing to do with 1MDB?

No.

Yesterday, I explained in great length why the charges were designed to frighten UMNO Members of Parliament (MPs) into joining PPBM (follow link below article). Mahathir says the MACC has a near perfect case. Prior to GE14, he even went around town on hailers telling all and sundry that Najib siphoned RM2.6 billion from 1MDB. Well, if indeed he has proof, why has he yet to submit it to the MACC? Why did the MACC not just charge Najib for siphoning RM2.6 billion from 1MDB instead of fussing about everything else?

What about Tanore Finance Corporation?

What about it?

Najib was ‘accused’ of receiving RM2.08 billion from Tanore, which isn’t much of an accusation, considering that he was alleged to have returned RM2.187 billion to the same company! Furthermore, a 2015 investigation paper that Shukri himself prepared stated in no uncertain terms that a representative of the Saudi Royal family had acted as a “trusted associate” when channelling donations to Najib through Tanore. But today, the MACC under Shukri’s own watch is claiming that the money was laundered by Najib because it was channelled through Tanore.

Makes sense?

Tell me, why isn’t Shukri himself being investigated? Was it not he who prepared the 2015 investigation paper that spoke a helluva lot about Tanore? How could he be the head of the MACC while the agency charges Najib over accusations that run contrary to entries he himself made? Should the MACC not put him under the microscope to ward of suspicion that a conspiracy exists between him and the Government of Malaysia (GoM) to incriminate Najib by hook or by crook?

Why is the MACC saying the case is linked to 1MDB?

The MACC claims that because the source of the funds that were in Tanore is not accessible to them, Najib must answer. But why must Najib answer on behalf of Tanore when he isn’t even the owner of the company? Isn’t that a matter between Tanore and the Saudi government and (or) authorities? Does the MACC have proof that Najib entered a secret agreement with the owners of Tanore to spirit illegitimate funds through the company?

If so, where is that proof?

I can assure you there is none.

So what are they hinging the charges on?

They’re hinging the charges on media reports by the Wall Street Journal and Sarawak Report. Just because these reports alleged that the funds in Tanore had originated from 1MDB, they’re holding Najib accountable and shamed him in public for it. Can you now see how the whole RM2.6 billion case is nothing but a sham?

Wow. But you still haven’t told us about the conspiracy between Zeti, Tommy Thomas and Shukri.

I know. I’m saving the best for last.
