AG confirms raids conducted on companies implicated in WSJ article

PETALING JAYA: Attorney General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail confirmed receiving documents in regards to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad fund (1MDB), including those related to the alleged funds transfer to the Prime Minister's personal bank account.
Gani Patail also said a Special Task Force consisting of officers from the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC), Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), and the police have already started their investigations into the matter.
"Yesterday (July 3), the team raided the premises of SRC International Sdn Bhd, Gandingan Mentari Sdn Bhd dan Ihsan Perdana Sdn Bhd and gathered documents from all three premises. I have studied all the documents presented and have advised the team for further action," he said in a statement today.
The AG's statement is in line with the opinion of the Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin that disclosure by Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that almost USD$700 million has been deposited into Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak's personal bank account by entities tied to 1MDB should be investigated by the authorities.
"The investigation will cover all aspects that has been raised. I am confident that the Task Force formed from the various agencies will allow for a more professional and thorough investigation to be conducted," Gani Patail said further.
He added that all those involved should cooperate with the Task Force formed to allow them to investigate the matter and not release any statements that may confuse the public
