PetroSaudi: Wait for Thai police report - Najib

He said the Thai police will inform the Malaysian government soon once it concludes its probe. He added that the government will ensure a transparent and fair investigation on the matter.

"Once we get something and clear evidence, only then the government will take action," he said after chairing the UMNO Supreme Council meeting today.

"The minister in charge is also waiting for the report from Thailand," he added.

Home Ministry Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had earlier said will cooperate with the Thai police to assist in the case involving the arrest of Justo who is currently being detained in Thailand.

Ahmad Zahid said, in welcoming the arrest of the Swiss national, his ministry was ready to assist in extraditing several of the suspects involved to enable Thai authorities to carry out their investigations.

He said his ministry was also informed that Justo was the individual responsible to channel inaccurate information to the Sarawak Report blog that triggered numerous unfounded allegations against 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

1MDB said Wednesday it noted reports of Justo’s arrest and the leaking of proprietary e-mail information belonging to PetroSaudi, as it pledged to cooperate with investigations. PetroSaudi said it was the “victim” of a crime that’s been politicized in Malaysia.
