M'sia to take action if proven that 1MDB has been defrauded
Kuala Lumpur
MALAYSIA will take legal action against individuals named in civil lawsuits filed by US prosecutors last month if there is proof that they defrauded a Malaysian state-owned fund, a government minister said on Thursday.
More than US$3.5 billion was allegedly misappropriated from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), founded by Prime Minister Najib Razak, according to civil lawsuits filed by the US Justice Department.
