The Hollywood producer Riza Aziz,
stepson of the former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, has been
arrested on suspicion of money laundering.
Mr Aziz, who produced The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, was detained in Malaysia and bailed.
US
prosecutors have accused Mr Aziz's production company of
misappropriating money from a multi-billion dollar state fund to finance
the film.
Mr Aziz's stepfather and mother have both been charged with corruption.
Mr Aziz will appear in court on Friday to face charges, said Latheefa Koya, the head of Malaysia's anti-corruption agency.

I think the way the Doctor keeps talking about 'staying on' as long as needed to solve the debt problem and the fact that he seeks to have a favourite successor who is not Anwar suggests this is a bit like the promise Hawke made to Keating.
