Head of the Prosecution Division says 'charge sheet' against PM Najib didn't come from AG's Chambers
Later, the newly appointed Attorney-General released an official statement, saying that "the allegations by foreign national Clare Rewcastle Brown in political blog Sarawak Report are false." Apandi also claimed that the "alleged charge sheets are not in and never reached the Attorney General's Chambers. Furthermore, the format of the sheets is not correct or written by our Chambers."
Adding that as the Special Task Force's investigation into 1MDB has not been completed yet, he said it's not legally possible for charge sheets to be drafted in advance.
"These alleged charge papers therefore indicate that there is a conspiracy to topple a serving Prime Minister by criminalising him, and that the methods include doctoring and criminal leakage." read the statement posted on [Malaysia Today](http://www.malaysia-today.net/statement-by-attorney-general-malaysia/).

Earlier on 28 July, hours before PM Najib reshuffled his Cabinet, Abdul Gani Patail, who was involved in the ongoing probe on 1MDB, was sacked from his post as the Attorney-General. While his health was cited as the reason by the government, Sarawak Report on Thursday, 30 July, released documents, claiming otherwise.
According to the UK-based whistleblower site, currently blocked in Malaysia by the MCMC, the real reason behind Abdul Gani's termination from his AG post is that he was "on the brink of bringing charges for corruption against the Prime Minister of Malaysia"
***[From Sarawak Report:](http://www.sarawak-report.org/2015/07/arrest-warrant-for-the-prime-minister-the-real-reason-the-attorney-general-was-fired-exclusive/)***
*"We have acquired the secret documents, which Gani Patail was in the process of drafting. They include a charge sheet for corrupt practices under Section 17 (a) of the MACC Act, allowing for (sic) punishment of a sentence of up to 20 years in prison under Section 24 of the Act."*
*"In an unprecedented situation the person being charged was none other than the Prime Minister "Dato' Seri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak" along with a company director, Dato' Shamus Anuar Bin Sulaiman."*
**Sarawak Report further claims that the documents, which were being worked in their final draft stages by the former AG, were sent to them following his sacking and have since been verified by other senior parties.**

***From Sarawak Report:***
*"In English the first of two draft warrants spell out the charges being brought by Malaysia's most senior law officer (who was unconstitutionally dismissed by the Prime Minister the day after these drafts were printed)."*
*The warrant cites that the Prime Minister and Shamsul Anuar and "another person still at large Nik Ariff Bin Faisla Kamil" on 26th of December 2014 at the AmIslamic Bank, Bangunan Ambank Group in Kuala Lumpur, as an agent of the Malaysian Government, namely the Prime Minister of Malaysia and special advisor of SRC International, did secretly obtain a sum of money amounting to RM27 million that was paid through the company Gandingan Mentari and Ihsan Perdana to "your account at AmPrivate Banking -1MY no 211201101880" with the principal aim of obtaining a loan from Kumpulan Wang Persaraan pension fund."*
**"As such you have committed an offence under Section 17(1) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Act of 2009, under which you can be punished according to Section 24 of the Act, to be read with Section 34″.**
*"The punishment cited at the base of the document is imprisonment of not more than 20 years and a fine not less than five times of the value of the bribe taken or RM10,000, whichever is higher."*
And this is a second, alternative draft charge, which relates to the same act on the same day, but refers more specifically to the Prime Minister's position of trust with regard to the company SRC. It was being worked on by the Attorney General, claimed Sarawak Report:
