Were these jewellery pieces seized by police in May 2018 raids?

Question

Accepted Answer

Jewellery Pieces Not Among Those Seized in May 2018 Raids

Global Royalty Trading SAL is seeking the return of 43 pieces of jewellery, valued at US$14.57 million, which it claims were delivered to Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor in February 2018. While these items were allegedly linked to the 1MDB scandal and police raids conducted in May 2018, the 43 missing pieces were not among the items confiscated during those operations. The firm previously filed a suit in June 2018, which was later withdrawn in October 2019.
Items Delivered on Consignment

Global Royalty alleges that 44 items were delivered to Rosmah on consignment on February 10, 2018, through its salesperson. The firm claims Rosmah acknowledged receiving these items in a letter dated May 22, 2018, with the understanding that the title remained with Global Royalty and that she would assume responsibility for any loss or damage.
Discrepancy in Confiscated Items

The jewellery in question was reportedly among items seized by police from Obyu Holdings Sdn Bhd premises in May 2018, purportedly in connection with the 1MDB financial scandal. However, Global Royalty asserts that these specific 43 pieces were not among the items that the police confiscated during their raids at that time.
Previous Legal Action and Forfeiture Proceedings

A prior suit filed by Global Royalty against Rosmah in June 2018 was withdrawn in October 2019. This withdrawal followed the government's unsuccessful forfeiture application concerning 12,000 pieces of jewellery seized in the May 2018 raids, which were subsequently returned to Rosmah. Global Royalty is now seeking the return of the 43 unaccounted-for items or their equivalent monetary value.
