Malaysian ex-PM ’s wife quizzed

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP),5 June 2018- The wife of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was questioned Tuesday by the anti-graft agency over alleged theft and money-laundering involving the 1MDB state investment fund, as Najib’s lawyers said they had pulled out.  Prosecution over the 1MDB scandal, that helped led to Najib’s shocking ouster in May 9 national elections, could also be sped up with the government’s appointment of an ethnic Indian lawyer as the new attorney general.   

Rosmah Mansor, accompanied by her daughter and son-in-law, didn’t speak to reporters as she was escorted into Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Commission’s office.
