KUALA LUMPUR: The investigation paper (IP) involving 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) lawyer Jasmine Loo Ai Swan was submitted to the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) last month, says Tan Sri Razarudin Husain.
The Inspector-General of Police said the IP was on Section 409 of the Penal Code.
“We are also continuing another investigation under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) to track down other assets belonging to Jasmine Loo,” he told a press conference after officiating the closing of the National Forensic Symposium for Law Enforcement at the Royal Malaysia Police College yesterday.
Police had seized some assets acquired using 1MDB funds and registered under Loo’s name.
Deputy IGP Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay had said the assets included properties, bank accounts, paintings, luxury handbags, watches and documents worth an estimated RM93.2mil.
Meanwhile, when asked about efforts to track fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low, the IGP said police would continue to search for him.
“I have said before our efforts (to track down and arrest) Jho Low have never ceased.
“Like Jasmine Loo, people have never asked about her but we managed to bring her back... it is the same for Jho Low,” he said.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission confirmed that it had started investigation into Loo since Monday.
Its chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki had said Loo, who was arrested on July 7, was being investigated for corruption and money laundering.
