马来西亚总理纳吉布免除了副总理和总检察长的职务。纳吉布由于严重欺诈指控而面临越来越大的压力。
纳吉布星期二发表电视讲话，宣布免除副总理毛希丁的职务。毛希丁是纳吉布最激烈的批评者之一。
早些时候，马来西亚政府发表声明说，总检察长帕泰尔由于“健康原因”而被免职。此前帕泰尔一直在协助调查纳吉布总理是否从一项政府投资项目中收取了七亿多美元。
纳吉布否认自己有任何不当行为，并暗示腐败指控是针对马来西亚长期执政联盟的“政治破坏”。
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is under increasing pressure because of serious fraud allegations, has fired his deputy and attorney general.
In a televised address Tuesday, Mr. Najib announced the dismissal of Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who had been one of his fiercest critics.
Earlier, a government statement said Attorney General Abdul Gani Patail was terminated because of "health reasons."
Patail had helped lead an investigation into whether the prime minister received over $700 million from the government-owned 1MBD investment fund.
Mr. Najib has denied any wrongdoing and has suggested that the corruption allegations are part of a "political sabotage" against Malaysia's longtime ruling coalition.
