Now go after 1MDB auditors, says Pua after Ambank settlement

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Following AMMB Holdings Bhd’s agreement to a RM2.83 billion global settlement over AmBank Group’s involvement in 1MDB, a DAP MP has urged Putrajaya to reach similar resolutions with the sovereign wealth fund’s auditors.

Damansara MP Tony Pua said the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government had engaged lawyers and accountants to prepare claims against those involved in the loss of funds related to 1MDB, whether directly or indirectly.

In a statement today, he added that these documents had been completed just weeks before the PH government fell.

“I call upon the finance ministry to now set their focus on the claims against the former 1MDB auditors, KPMG and Deloitte Malaysia. Like in the case of Ambank, the claim documents against both entities were completed by professionals more than a year ago.
