Accepted Answer

A Draft Charge Sheet Was Prepared Against Datuk Seri Najib Razak in 2015

A draft charge sheet was indeed prepared against Datuk Seri Najib Razak in 2015 during the course of investigations by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) into alleged misappropriation of RM42 million funds belonging to SRC International Sdn Bhd. This draft was part of the initial plan by MACC, which also recommended charging several other individuals in connection with transactions totalling RM42 million that entered Najib's accounts.
MACC's Initial Recommendations for Charges

In 2015, the MACC's investigations into the SRC International funds led to recommendations for charging multiple individuals. These recommendations included SRC International chief executive Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, Ihsan Perdana Sdn Bhd managing director Datuk Dr Shamsul Anwar Sulaiman, and IPSB finance director Datuk Abdul Aziz Ismail. These proposed charges were related to specific transactions amounting to RM27 million, RM5 million, and RM10 million, all of which were directed into Najib Razak's accounts.
Details of Fund Transfers

The court heard that bank account statements confirmed the movement of these funds. Specifically, RM27 million and RM5 million were shown to have entered Najib's accounts on December 26, 2014. Subsequently, another RM10 million was transferred into his account on February 10, 2015. These transactions formed a significant part of the MACC's investigative findings.
MACC's Confidence and Subsequent Review Request

The MACC investigating officer confirmed that a draft charge sheet was a common practice based on ongoing investigation findings. The commission expressed confidence that Najib Razak had committed the offences under investigation. Following the submission of the investigation paper to the Attorney General's Chambers on December 31, 2015, the case was initially classified as “no future action.” However, in 2016, the MACC sought a review of former Attorney General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali's decision to exonerate Najib, indicating a continued belief within the MACC regarding Najib's culpability.
