Documents including minutes of meetings, bank statements, reconciliation statements, ledger books, business agreements, investment dealings are among the list of items seized from the controversial 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) office in a police raid yesterday.
In disclosing this, the special government task force investigating a money trail of billions of ringgit to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's bank accounts added that several notebook computers were also seized in the raid.
Among the documents were files on 1MDB's corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, said Attorney-General (A-G) Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail in a statement today.
"On July 8, 2015 at 9.40am, the Special Task Force investigating the allegations of funds transmitted to the accounts of the prime minister raided the 1MDB office at Menara IMC in Kuala Lumpur. The search of the premises was completed at 6.45pm.
"The Special Task Force team obtained the materials required for its investigation including the minutes of meetings of the 1MDB board of directors, the minute book, bank statements and other bank details, reconciliation statements, ledger books, agreements of business and investment dealings, and files on 1MDB’s corporate social responsibility activities. The team also seized several notebook computers," Abdul Gani said.
The special government task force investigating a money trail of billions of ringgit to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's bank accounts says that an assortment of documents including minutes of meetings, bank statements and business agreements are among the list of items seized in the raid at 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) office in Kuala Lumpur.
Besides Abdul Gani, the special task force comprises Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akthar Aziz, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed.
It was formed to probe allegations reported by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on July 2 that some US$700 million (RM2.6 billion) had been transferred to Najib's accounts in AmBank in Kuala Lumpur.
The task force has frozen six bank accounts and seized documents related to 17 bank accounts.
It has already raided the offices of SRC International Sdn Bhd, Gandingan Mentari Sdn Bhd and Ihsan Perdana Sdn Bhd, the companies which were part of the local transfer of funds totaling US$11.1 million (RM42 million).
Najib has denied taking funds for personal use but has not commented directly on the transfer of the money into his accounts. He instead blamed former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for masterminding the latest allegations. – TMI
