The AGC made the “mistake” of saying in court that the monies came from 1MDB.
The AGC couldn’t prove it. The court did not probe the source of the monies.
DoJ didn’t claim that the assets, frozen/seized/forfeited, came from 1MDB.
DoJ said they were the result of money laundering.
International law defines money laundering as having assets far in excess of what can be legitimately accumulated over a lifetime.
Such assets can be frozen, seized and forfeited by the state by civil action.
Criminal suit would only be instituted if the civil action is challenged.
Unlike the AGC, the DoJ got back billions for M’sia.
