Police and other enforcement agencies should investigate former attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali over his alleged role in the 1MDB scandal cover-up, said Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng.
In his report lodged at the Dang Wangi district police station this morning, Lim said investigations should also be extended to the former MACC chief, as well as the former inspector-general of police.
"The reason I lodged this report was to urge police to investigate in great detail the stealing of 1MDB's money," said Lim (below) in his police report.
In July 2015, Najib had appointed Apandi as attorney-general to replace Abdul Gani Patail, who was then heading a special task force to investigate the billions in the former premier's bank accounts.
Najib had been investigated for receiving RM2.6 billion (US$681 million), purportedly as a political donation from the Saudi royal family, as well as RM42 million originating from SRC International. Apandi then ceased investigations.
Apandi, who eventually cleared Najib Abdul of any wrongdoing with regard to the money in his bank accounts, vacated his position after Pakatan Harapan came to power last year.
Despite having no formal charges pressed against him, Apandi was slapped with a travel ban which has been lifted by the Home Ministry and Immigration Department in a letter dated May 8.
A day after it was revealed that Apandi was free to travel overseas, DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang detailed the former attorney-general's role in the 1MDB scandal.
He also urged police to investigate the alleged cover-ups which included attempts to block co-operation with investigating authorities from over 10 countries. - Mkini
