CRIMINAL ACTION? WHAT CRIMINAL ACTION: UMNO-BN CONTINUE THEIR ‘BLIND’ GAME, INSIST DOJ CIVIL SUITS ‘FROZEN’ DUE TO LACK OF EVIDENCE

PETALING JAYA – The US Department of Justice’s (DoJ) suspension of its civil suits against 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) shows there is a lack of evidence of wrongdoing by the state investment fund, says the Barisan Nasional Strategic Communications team.
“Civil suits related to this case which started a year ago, which has essentially gone nowhere without sufficient evidence, are now frozen,” said its deputy director Datuk Eric See-To in a statement on Friday.
He added that the civil action against 1MDB, without sufficient evidence, signalled the political motivation of individuals from the previous US administration.
He stressed that it was important to note that 1MDB “is not a party to the DoJ’s civil suits.”
“As far as 1MDB is concerned, all its funds have been accounted for, in addition to the Malaysia Attorney-General’s statements after the DoJ filings that there has been no evidence of any misappropriation of funds,” he said.
He added that individuals from DoJ had asked for a indefinite suspension of the proceedings of the civil suit, which is unusual as there is usually a time limit to such requests.
“This could pave the way for constructive discussions, given the recent successful visit of the Trump Administration to Malaysia,” he said, in an apparent reference to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s visit earlier this week, part of his tour of South-East Asia.
See-To said a key point to note was the successful settlement between 1MDB and International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC), which he said proved that there was no money misappropriated.
