Tawfiq Ayman, husband of former Bank Negara governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz.KUALA LUMPUR: Police found out only in 2019 that money linked to 1MDB was being held in an account owned by the husband of former central bank chief Zeti Akhtar Aziz, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
Law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said that since then, police have taken over the investigation and “we need to wait for the investigation to be over”.
Wan Junaidi was responding to remarks by Baling MP Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim during a budget debate earlier.
Azeez had raised the issue twice today about the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s revelation on Friday that some RM65 million in 1MDB-linked funds were held in the accounts owned by Zeti’s husband Tawfiq Ayman.

He said it was important for the truth to be revealed. He also asked that MACC and other authorities act as quickly as possible as the nation was shocked over the news.
Wan Junaidi said that the police investigation involved “all the names mentioned by YB Baling (Azeez)” and the investigation was still going on.
MACC has said it has managed to recover RM20.5 billion in assets and funds linked to 1MDB, which included the return of assets worth US$15.4 million (RM64.4 million) involving the accounts of Cutting Edge Industries Ltd owned by Tawfiq and Samuel Goh.
Zeti is a witness in the trial of former prime minister Najib Razak on charges relating to 1MDB funds. Tawfiq had previously been questioned by police in connection with 1MDB funds, although there has been no update on the probe. - FMT
