KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is expected to slap fresh charges against former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak tomorrow over a questionable RM2.6 billion donation he received while in office.

A source privy to the investigation confirmed the matter to the Malay Mail today.

Najib is expected to be charged under Section 23(1) of the MACC Act at the Kuala Lumpur (KL) Court Complex tomorrow afternoon, the source said when contacted.

Najib had earlier arrived at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya for questioning at 3pm.

Malay Mail was made to understand that the probe surrounds the donation which he had claimed was from the Saudi royal family.

On July 4, Najib claimed trial on three counts of criminal breach of trust and another charge of abuse of power involving RM42 million linked to SRC International Sdn Bhd, a former subsidiary of state investment firm 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

He is also facing three additional charges involving money laundering under Section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2002.

Najib was then finance minister and 1MDB advisory board chairman.
