PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Mohd Shukri Abdull has denied speculation that the death of senior deputy public prosecutor (DPP) Kevin Morais was linked to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
Speaking at a press conference today, the newly appointed Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner said, "As far as I know, Kevin Morais case has nothing to do with 1MDB."
Last week, Pascal Najadi, Son of former AmBank chairman Hussain Najadi urged the government to reopen the investigation into his father's assassination five years ago.
He said he was hopeful that the real motive behind his father's assasination would be determined, along with other unanswered murder cases such as Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu and former DPP Morais.
Meanwhile, Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown recently stated that she believed it was Morais who had leaked information on the 1MDB scandal that the Attorney-General's Chambers was investigating.
Citing reliable sources, Rewcastle-Brown said she believed Morais had given her an alleged charge sheet against former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Morais's body was discovered three years ago in a drum filled with concrete at Persiaran Subang Mewah, Subang Jaya.
He was reported missing on Sept 4, 2015 and was last seen leaving his condominium in Menara Duta, heading to Putrajaya in a Proton Perdana.
