Malaysia's anti-graft agency said Thursday it has detained Riza Aziz, the stepson of former Prime Minister Najib Razak and a Hollywood film producer, and will charge him with money laundering.
Anti-Corruption Commission chief Latheefa Koya said Riza was picked up Thursday but has been released on bail.
Riza was quizzed last July by the agency over alleged theft and money laundering at the 1MDB state investment fund.
