The ANZ Bank has a 24 per cent stake in Malaysia’s AmBank, which has become embroiled in the scandal over the siphoning of funds from the nation’s 1MDB sovereign wealth fund. Malaysia’s former prime minister Najib Razak is alleged to have channelled 1MDB’s funds into his AmBank account. Brian Johnson of CLSA says ANZ or its executives could potentially be drawn into the corruption scandal. CEO Shayne Elliott is among the ANZ executives who have previously served on AmBank’s board.
