Question

Accepted Answer

The investigation into items seized in connection with the 1MDB case must be concluded by May 16.

The police have a deadline of May 16 to complete their investigation into items and documents seized in relation to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) case. After this date, any further processes concerning these seized items will require court recommendations.
Investigation Deadline Set for May 16

The Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun, stated that the investigation must be finalised on or before May 16. This timeline is dictated by legal procedures, as the police are only permitted to hold onto the seized items until that date. Following May 16, the investigation will need to adhere to specific court processes and recommendations.
Seizure of Items in May 2018
