"WSJ" is rendered in Malaysia by news involving Prime Minister

                     The Wall Street Journal

Bangkok-Malaysia's Central Bank filed a complaint against the American newspaper"The Wall Street Journal" by the alleged disclosure of sensitive documents in a news story about the corruption case involving the Prime Minister, Najib Razak, reportedon Saturday local press.

Najib himself confirmed the measure last night in an interview with the press, a dayafter the half American published a new information about the State Fund 1MDB, who is accused of transferring millions of dollars to the private accounts of the Prime Minister.

The newspaper denounced political pressures in the investigation of the case in Malaysia, in which information also published a letter from the Central Bank, which is supposed to be confidential, that would question the Defense's arguments of Najib.

"The Governor of the Central Bank presented a report to the police, which must proceed with an investigation. Is very serious post classified documents according to URSA (acronym in English of the law that determines the official secrets), "said Najib,according to broadcaster Channel News Asia.

His statements followed the same tone of previously made by his spokesman, who accused the newspaper of "take a position on the political affairs of Malaysia" and defended the full cooperation of the Prime Minister in investigations.

The scandal involving the 1MDB Fund appeared in the middle of last year, when "The Wall Street Jorunal" and the site "Sarawak Report reported that Najib had received$ 681 million in its private bank accounts through transfers by 1MDB.

Subsequent information increased that number to more than $ 1 billion.

Najib and the company denied the charges and, after an investigation by the anti-corruption Commission, the Attorney General of Malaysia cleared the Prime Ministerin January this year of any crime, by awarding the money to donate to the Royal family of Saudi Arabia.

1MDB Fund, created in 2009 by Najib, the same year in which he assumed the Office of Prime Minister, accumulated until 2014 1 debt of 42 billion ringgits (US $ 11.010 billion).
