THE US government has returned another US$156 million to Malaysia in recovered assets linked to scandal-hit state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), taking the total returned so far to US$1.4 billion, the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur said.

The recovered funds were being returned following the US Justice Department’s approval of a remission petition submitted by the Malaysian government.

To date, US authorities have recovered and returned about US$1.4 billion in funds misappropriated from 1MDB to Malaysia, the US embassy said in a statement issued late on Thursday.

“This extraordinary sum of money is going back to the people of Malaysia where it belongs and where it can finally be used for its original intended purpose – to better the lives of everyday Malaysians,” US ambassador Edgard D. Kagan said in the statement.

The office of Malaysia’s prime minister did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Malaysian and US investigators estimate US$4.5 billion was siphoned away from 1MDB following its inception in 2009, implicating former Prime Minister Najib Razak, Goldman Sachs staff and high-level officials elsewhere. REUTERS
