Najib 'stars' in BBC documentary on corrupt Saudi royals
  • 6 years ago
A new BBC documentary on the ongoing conflict surrounding Saudi Arabia’s royal family has prominently featured Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

Episode Two of House of Saud: A Family at War, which was first aired on Tuesday, begins its story with Prince Turki Abdullah Al Saud's involvement in the genesis of Malaysia's beleaguered sovereign wealth fund 1MDB.

Shortly after raising RM5 billion in mid-2009, 1MDB’s first venture involved investing USD1 billion in a joint-venture with little-known PetroSaudi International in September that year.
