Flanked by security guards, Najib entered the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday, moving slowly through a throng of journalists outside the building. US says will pursue 1MDB probeNajib has consistently denied any wrongdoing since the 1MDB scandal erupted in 2015, but he replaced an attorney-general and several MACC officers to shut down an initial investigation. The initial focus of the MACC's new probe is on how RM42 million (US$10.6 million) went from SRC International to Najib's account. MACC has been able to track the money trail from SRC more easily because transactions were made through Malaysian entities, whereas most other transfers of 1MDB funds went through foreign banks and companies. Earlier, members of the 1MDB special investigation team were seen arriving at the MACC headquarters to attend a meeting related to the 1MDB investigation.
