WELL-KNOWN Malaysian banker Nazir Razak has found himself enmeshed in the 1MDB scandal following a report that he made political disbursements of nearly US$7 million at the behest of his brother, Prime Minister Najib Razak, ahead of a hotly contested general election in May 2013.
The funds - among more than 500 payments from Mr Najib's accounts to various people or entities, mostly political - were transferred to Mr Nazir's personal accounts, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
