The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is expected to conclude its investigation into SRC International's RM42 million, which purportedly went to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's personal bank account, within a month.

This is according to attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali, in response to reporters at the 17th Asean Senior Law Officials Meeting (Aslom) in Putrajaya.

"I think it should be within a month, I could say, the latest," Apandi said.

"I don't know what is the result of the investigation, I have yet to see it. My directive is to wrap up the investigation and I will give further directions."

However, Apandi declined to respond to the sprminsider.blogspot.com blog, which uploaded several documents that were purportedly key MACC investigation papers in the probe into SRC International. 

On May 3, PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli publicly claimed that the list on the blog was authenticated by MACC sources. Among the alleged recipients of funds were those linked to Umno or Najib himself.

Other recipients named in the documents included jewelers De Grisgono in Arzachena, Italy, which purportedly received 10 separate payments amounting to 763,500 euros (RM3,616,699.53 based on the current exchange rate) in 2014.

The other purported recipients on the list were several media-related agencies, big data firms, Umno and BN divisions as well as various individuals.

'True Malaysians' choose Batu Puteh over SRC

In refusing to elaborate on the SRC International investigations, Apandi urged the reporters to focus on the lawsuit regarding Pulau Batu Puteh.

"If you are a true Malaysian, you will write more about the Batu Puteh (lawsuit). That is for the country," Apandi said.

At the press conference on Jan 26, 2016, Apandi said no charge would be brought against Najib based on the investigation carried out by MACC on the RM2.6 billion political donation and the RM42 million in funds orginating from SRC International.

He had said then: "Based on the facts and evidence as a whole, I, as the public prosecutor, am satisfied that no criminal offence has been committed by the prime minister in relation to the three investigation papers. I will return the relevant investigation papers to MACC today, with the instruction to close the three investigation papers."

SRC International is a former subsidiary of 1MDB, which was set up by the Najib administration in 2009 as a sovereign wealth fund. The company is now the focus of money laundering investigations in several overseas jurisdictions.

Based on publicly available documents, some shown by Apandi himself, the SRC International money was allegedly deposited into Najib's account in two transactions - on Dec 26, 2014, and Feb 10, 2015 - after being routed through two companies - Gandingan Mentari Sdn Bhd and Ihsan Perdana Sdn Bhd.

Najib has repeatedly claimed he was unaware about the money from SRC International and Apandi also cleared him of any wrongdoing in the matter.
