Picking up the pieces

Recent developments in the 1MDB scandal

1MDB was set up as a state fund to drive new investment in Malaysia, but investigators say the money went elsewhere.

After Malaysia’s government set up a ‘special taskforce’ to investigate 1MDB, prosecutors agreed a $107.3 million settlement in the case in May this year.

In this Q&A style webinar, Dickon Johnstone (CEO, Themis) interviews Bradley Hope, investigative journalist and co-author of the international bestseller “Billion Dollar Whale”, to explore the latest fallout from the 1MDB case.
