The Saudi finance ministry made deposits of about US$80 million in 2011 into Mr Najib's accounts at a Malaysian bank, ABC's Four Corners programme reported, citing remittance statements. One person who gave his name as a Saudi prince started sending money in February 2011 and made two deposits totalling US$75 million in April and May 2012, it said.
