KUALA LUMPUR: Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak withdrew his summons against the top three investigators of 1Malaysia Development Berhad
The three are the Attorney General Tommy Thomas, the chief Malaysian anti-corruption Commission Mohd Shukri Abdull and the commercial. Director of the Criminal Investigations Division Datuk Seri Amar Singh Ishar Singh.
Lawyer Badrul Hisham Abdullah, who represented the plaintiff, confirmed the withdrawal when he was contacted.
The withdrawal, he said, was based on the fact that Najib had been charged in the High Court with three counts of indictment.
"We have to realign the case because the scenario has changed," he said Monday.
On June 30, Najib filed the summons against the three individuals separately.
In his original citation filed against Thomas, Najib said that the first had written an article titled "Grand Larceny in 1MDB" in July 2016, and published on the Malaysiakini news portal.
He claimed Thomas' article concluded that he (Najib) had taken 1MDB money.
Najib says that Thomas' position against him was obvious in the article and Thomas should not have been involved in the investigation.
In his summons against Mohd Shukri, Najib claimed that the head of the MACC had prematurely concluded in a press conference. he had taken RM42mil and RM2.6bil from SRC International Sdn Bhd, formerly a subsidiary of 1MDB.
Najib pointed out that the press conference had been organized before being convened by the MACC to have his statement recorded in order to assist investigations on SRC International.
He said that the statement made by Mohd Shukri at the press conference was emotionally charged and revengeful, in addition to portraying him as guilty.
Meanwhile, in his affidavit of support for his initial quote against Amar Singh, Najib indicated that the police chief was responsible for police raids on his children's premises at Pavilion Residence and loaned by a friend to store Residence items in Seri Perdana.
