Aliran has just released this media statement:Aliran welcomes the court verdict in the 1MDB case that found Najib Razak guilty of four counts of abuse of power and 21 counts of money laundering involving RM2.3bn. The verdict – along with another High Court decision on 22 December, turning down Najib’s bid for ‘house arrest’ in the SRC International case – is a major milestone in the fight against corruption in high places. As such, we are totally against any attempt at a “political reset” to wipe the slate clean for politicians implicated in high-level corruption. Let the 1MDB issue and all other high-level corruption cases be fairly adjudicated in the courts, with independent judges and prosecutors. Support the struggle to build a Malaysia based on Justice, Freedom, Solidarity:Meanwhile, we call on the Attorney General’s Chambers to pursue all high-level corruption cases where those charged were granted a “discharge not amounting to acquittal”.
