劲爆《轰动全世界》著名记者揭露【纳吉收（1MDB）盗款真相】值得分享出去，更多人知道！！！。。。这名记者说，纳吉所公布的文件也存有误导和欺诈之嫌。。。。

WSJ记者直接点名揭纳吉收1MDB盗款真相布拉德利霍普在自己的推特上，上载了资金流入纳吉个人户口的资料图。

（八打灵再也11日讯）尽管前首相拿督斯里纳吉出示文件，欲证明巨款是来自沙地阿拉伯已故国王，但《华尔街日报》记者却反击打脸纳吉，揭露纳吉选择性揭露他接收了一个马来西亚发展有限公司（1MDB）盗款的真相。

其中一名记者布拉德利霍普在推特上，直接点名纳吉，要求他阅读一篇在2016年9月1日刊登的新闻文章，内容揭露了纳吉如何从1MDB接收了10亿美元到个人账户。

他说，纳吉所公布的文件也存有误导和欺诈之嫌。

您所包含的文件部分具有误导性（如保护资金真正来源的电汇）与部分涉嫌欺诈（这封来自沙特王子的信，是为了误导监管机构和银行而制造的）。

布拉德利霍普也在推特上，张贴了3张截图，显示了纳吉是如何得到有关巨款。

一份提交给美国司法部（DOJ）的文件，调查显示，1MDB遭挪用的35亿美元（约140亿令吉）中的10亿美元（约41亿令吉），最终落入纳吉的银行户头。

而自2015年起，《华尔街日报》便开始陆续追踪1MDB金融丑闻，当中点名纳吉、富豪刘特佐等人如何非法转移资金。

【MALAYSIA’S 1MDB SCANDAL】

How $1 Billion Made Its Way to the Prime MinisterInvestigators say at least $3.5 billion was misappropriated from 1MDB. Here’s how they believe $1 billion ended up in the bank accounts of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.

Every time Malaysian government investment fund 1Malaysia Development Bhd, or 1MDB, borrowed money, large amounts of the cash were quickly misappropriated, according to investigators. The money followed a circuitous path among private banks, offshore companies and funds, bank records show, and roughly $1 billion landed in the private bank accounts of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.

That cash is part of $3.5 billion that was embezzled from 1MDB, according to a U.S. Justice department complaint. Investigators from seven countries are trying to figure out what happened to the money and the U.S. moved to seize $1 billion in property in July, including luxury real estate in New York and Beverly Hills, a private jet and art allegedly purchased with 1MDB money. Singapore has charged a banker with money laundering in relation to 1MDB and Abu Dhabi has arrested and frozen the assets of a top official who was deeply involved with the fund. The banker and the official haven’t commented.

This interactive graphic tracks the route that investigators believe the money took from the time it was raised by 1MDB until it landed in the private bank accounts of Mr. Najib at AmBank Bhd., a Malaysian bank, between 2011 and 2015.

The money was raised on three separate occasions and took three separate paths, sometimes flowing directly, while in other cases it split and took different routes, only to be reunited in the AmBank accounts according to the Justice Department complaint. The cash flowed through Singapore, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, the Seychelles, the British Virgin Islands and Cura?ao. Other funds disappear, often into accounts controlled by other players in the scandal, the complaint said.

This description is based on bank-transfer documents, investigative files from two countries, people familiar with transactions and the 136-page Justice Department complaint, which is seeking to seize assets bought with funds misappropriated from 1MDB.

Mr. Najib hasn’t acknowledged all of the transfers into his accounts, but he said that $681 million was a legal donation from the royal family of Saudi Arabia and the Malaysian attorney general agreed with that explanation, clearing him of any wrongdoing. Mr. Najib said he returned most of the funds to the Saudi Arabian donor. 1MDB has denied wrongdoing and said it would cooperate with any lawful international investigation.

According to the Justice Department, the money went back to the offshore company that originally sent it to Mr. Najib’s accounts, and from there it was used to fuel other investments and spending by a Malaysian financier allegedly at the center of the scheme named Jho Low. A lawyer for Mr. Low declined to comment.

A portion of the money from 1MDB passed through Saudi Arabia on its way to Mr. Najib's accounts and $80 million appears to have been transferred by the Ministry of Finance in Saudi Arabia. The origin of the rest of the Saudi money is still under investigation.

【TRANSACTION 1】THE SAUDI ARABIAN OIL-VENTURE MONEYHOW THE MONEY WAS RAISED1MDB borrowed about $1.8 billion for a joint venture with Saudi oil company PetroSaudi International Ltd.WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MONEYAbout $1 billion of the cash went to a Seychelles company called Good Star Ltd.HOW THE MONEY GOT TO MR. NAJIB'S BANK ACCOUNTSA co-founder of PetroSaudi, Prince Turki bin Abdullah, received $24.5 million from Good Star before transferring $20 million to Mr. Najib via an intermediary, according to the Justice Department and a person familiar with the U.S. investigation into 1MDB. The same intermediary sent other funds into Mr. Najib’s accounts, bank transfer documents show, but the origin of the funds is still under investigation. PetroSaudi, Prince Turki and Prince Faisal did not respond to requests for comment.【TRANSACTION 2】

THE POWER-PLANT MONEYHOW THE MONEY WAS RAISEDTwo bonds worth a total of $3.5 billion were sold for 1MDB by Goldman Sachs to fund the purchase of power plants.WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MONEYAfter paying a substantial fee to Goldman, 1MDB was supposed to pay money for a guarantee on the bonds to a unit of Abu Dhabi's International Petroleum Investment Company called Aabar Investments PJS. Instead, the funds went to the similarly named Aabar Investments PJS Ltd., a British Virgin Islands registered company that IPIC says isn’t part of its corporate structure, which received billions of dollars from 1MDB entities over the years. The money was then distributed to beneficiaries of the alleged fraud, according to the Justice Department.HOW THE MONEY GOT TO MR. NAJIB'S ACCOUNTSFrom Aabar BVI, about $637 million went to a company called Blackstone Asia Real Estate Partners in the British Virgin Islands, where it was pooled with other funds. Blackstone has no connection to the Blackstone Group, the New York private-equity firm.

Another $463 million went from Aabar BVI to two mutual funds in the Caribbean island of Cura?ao and then onto Blackstone Asia Real Estate Partners, which transferred a total of $170 million to Mr. Najib’s bank accounts in multiple transactions during 2012, bank transfer documents show.

【TRANSACTION 3】

THE ABU DHABI REAL-ESTATE MONEYHOW THE MONEY WAS RAISED1MDB sold $3 billion in bonds via Goldman Sachs to fund a real-estate joint venture with Abu Dhabi.WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MONEYImmediately after paying Goldman Sachs its substantial fees, 1MDB transferred nearly half of the cash to a series of funds, shell companies and other intermediaries located in the British Virgin Islands and Cura?ao. Eventually $1.27 billion ended up in a British Virgin Islands company called Tanore Finance Corp.HOW THE MONEY GOT TO MR. NAJIB'S ACCOUNTSTanore transferred $680 million to Mr. Najib’s accounts. A few months later, $620 million was returned to Tanore before disappearing back into a maze of offshore companies, according to the Justice Department and investigative documents reviewed by the Journal.【THE LAST STEP】

THE FOUR PATHS INTO THE PRIME MINISTER’S BANK ACCOUNTSHOW IT GOT TO MR. NAJIB’S ACCOUNTSOf the $1.05 billion Mr. Najib received in his accounts, only $80 million appears to clearly originate with Saudi Arabia, via its Finance Ministry, though the details of that transfer are still unknown. Another $120 million that came via an intermediary based in Saudi Arabia are still under investigation, according to a person familiar with the U.S. investigation. At least $20 million of that $120 million has been traced clearly back to 1MDB by investigators. The remaining $850 million came via Tanore Finance and Blackstone Asia, and has been traced back to 1MDB by investigators, according to people familiar with the probe.WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MONEYMr. Najib used the money in his AmBank accounts for personal and political spending, according to investigative documents reviewed by the Journal that detail more than 500 transactions. He wrote checks to politicians in his political party and also paid millions of dollars for personal expenses, including $130,625 at a Chanel store in Hawaii and ?750,000 at a jewelry store in Switzerland.=====================================================================
