Mr Former Prime Minister of Malaysia started to admit that 1MDB scandal is not a slander but a reality.
He finally claimed he might have been cheated by Jho Low who was a close friend to his wife Rosmah Mansor.
Today he told Sinar media that he was in the dark about what was going on in 1MDB.
“Yes… this is the conclusion if we consider what we know today. This is actually (what happened),” the former prime minister told a live interview with Sinar Harian this morning.
Najib also claimed to be in the dark on the alleged misappropriation of 1MDB funds and criticised those who were dealing with 1MDB, including Goldman Sachs, for not alerting Malaysia.
“Back then, we appointed lawyers, auditors and Goldman Sachs, a well-known investment bank in the world, to look after the interest of Malaysia.
“So, if they had failed to take care of the interest of Malaysia, how would I know (what happened)?
“They should have informed (me) that something was not right,” he said.
“I had no idea what he (Low) did privately, I only knew it later. If you talk about the superyacht, about the jet, about the parties, I was not involved and I did not know back then, ” he added.
