Attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali may have inadvertently revealed there was an additional RM27 million from SRC International to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, claimed a DAP lawmaker.
Tony Pua said the additional transactions were revealed in a chart held up by Apandi during his press conference yesterday.
In a reproduction of the chart based on a photo from the press conference, Pua showed how in July 2014, RM35 million from SRC went to a construction firm and its subsidiary.
Of that amount, RM27 million ended up in what Pua claimed to be Najib’s account.
“This was used to pay for Najib’s credit cards,” he alleged during a press conference at the Parliament lobby today.
This brings the total SRC money channeled to Najib to RM69 million, Pua added.
Previously it was alleged by the Wall Street Journal that RM42 million or SRC funds made its way into Najib’s accounts in 2014.
Apandi said yesterday Najib was unaware that any SRC money had made its way into his bank accounts.
The attorney-general said evidence showed that at all material times, the prime minister was of the belief that the “payments made by him” were made from the Saudi royal family’s RM2.6 billion political donation.
