Police and MACC sources have claimed that former premier Najib Abdul Razak has been arrested at his residence in Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur, this afternoon.

A MACC source told Malaysiakini that the former premier has been taken to the commission's headquarters in Putrajaya for further questioning.

Previously, MACC had recorded Najib's statement twice with regard to the SRC International issue.

Last week, Malaysiakini had reported that there is a strong likelihood the former premier would be arrested this week.
