Malaysian prosecutor clears 1MDB officials on bank report

The statement comes in response to a rare intervention in public affairs by Malaysia's royal rulers, who called for a quick and transparent investigation into 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) - adding pressure on the scandal-hit government of Prime Minister Najib Razak.
