Who is involved?
A criminal investigation by the Attorney General of Switzerland is under way and
in January it was reported that there were "serious indications" that about $4bn
was misappropriated. The Swiss investigation is looking at five companies:
PetroSaudi; SRC (which was a former 1MDB subsidiary); Genting and Tanjong,
(which were Malaysian conglomerates); and ADMIC, which is a joint venture
between 1MDB and Aabar Investments.
Also criticised is Goldman Sachs, which helped raise capital for 1MDB and
arranged three bond sales in 2012 and 2013. These, according to the FT,
included a transaction where it collected a fee worth nearly $300m on a 3bn
issue. The FBI is reportedly investigating Goldman Sachsregional chairman Tim
Leissner's connections to the Malaysian prime minister.
