BENTONG – Former Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob has insisted that imprisoned former prime minister Datuk Sri Najib Razak is innocent, claiming that the latter had been duped by irresponsible individuals.
Speaking on the graft conviction related to the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal, Adnan said that his fellow Barisan Nasional (BN) leader merely wanted to venture into the international business scene, with the end goal of bettering the people’s welfare.
“Najib’s intention was actually to invest overseas and do business there. He knew it was a risky but profitable venture,” he said during a BN campaign event here this evening.
“Sadly, halfway through his attempt, he was played (out) by others.
“I don’t believe that Najib has done anything wrong, but I will accept that he has been charged since unexpected things can always happen in this world.”
