Separate recordings captured conversations between then PM Datuk Seri Najib Razak and parties from the United Arab Emirates, including UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Mubadala Development Co managing director Khaldoon Al Mubarak.
The calls were made following a US Department of Justice (DoJ) announcement in July 2016, of the billion-dollar scandal involving 1MDB.
"We are experiencing a bit of dark clouds, as a result of yesterday's announcement by the DoJ," said Najib to the crown prince.
Najib was also heard asking for a "personal request" — for the UAE to establish a "loan agreement" between his stepson Riza Aziz and UAE deputy prime minister Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, due to the 1MDB money trail to Riza's Hollywood film production house Red Granite Pictures.
