PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was only carrying out its duty to the nation in the long-running 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) investigation, says its chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki. "Rather, it reflects the fulfilment of our responsibility and duty to the nation, carried out in accordance with the trust and mandate entrusted to us. He congratulated the MACC's investigating officers and the prosecution team following the conclusion of the 1MDB probe, which began in July 2015. Earlier, former prime minister Najib was found guilty of four abuse of power charges over the misappropriation of RM2.3 billion in 1MDB funds. Azam also applauded the team for remaining steadfast in meeting the rigorous legal standards required for the case to be brought before the courts.
