Bukit Aman has opened an investigation into former premier Najib Abdul Razak's claim that the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) had imposed a hefty tax penalty on him under political instructions.<br /><br />Commercial Crime Department director Kamarudin Md Din said the police are investigating the case under Section 468 of the Penal Code, which is a law that deals with forgery of documents for the purpose of cheating.<br /><br />This comes after Najib lodged a report two weeks ago, alleging that a certain IRB official had received instruction from a politician to fine him, despite investigations supposedly found no tax violation on Najib's side.
