Police have resubmitted its investigation paper into 1MDB to the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) and is awaiting a reply from the latter, said Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
"The police's investigation paper into 1MDB had been submitted several times to the AGC and returned (to the cops) with the instruction to further investigate.
"Police have carried out an investigation as instructed by the AGC and referred the investigation paper back to the AGC. Up until now, they (police) are awaiting further instructions from the AGC," Zahid told Tony Pua (DAP-Petaling Jaya Utara) in a parliamentary written reply on Nov 2, in his capacity as the home minister.
The AGC had on Oct 24, rejected the police's investigation paper on 1MDB, due to the lack of evidence.
Pua had asked for the update on the police's probe into Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Hilmi, the former chief executive officer of 1MDB, and other management officials of the state fund, as proposed by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
"Has the case been closed, and no party, found guilty?" Pua had asked.
In April 2016, PAC tabled the 106-page 1MDB governance management control report in the Dewan Rakyat.
The committee, comprising BN and opposition members of Parliament, suggested, among others, that the authorities investigate Shahrol and parties involved in the management of the government-owned strategic investment company.
