Soon after, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Mazlan Mansor was contacted and he confirmed the raid, saying,

“I can confirm that we have raided the firm and seized documents to help in our probe into the 1MDB case. A team from the Bukit Aman CCID conducted the raid in accordance with their ongoing investigations into the case.”

The raid was conducted just a day after our Inspector-General of Police announced that they have found new leads on the whereabouts Low Taek Jho (aka Jho Low), who is linked to the 1MDB scandal. Currently, they are trying their best to bring the fugitive Malaysian businessman back to his motherland as soon as they can.

The IGP added that Jho Low has plunged Malaysia into a huge debt, saying, “The country has high debts because of his robbery.”

FYI, Deloitte – which is one of the “big four” international accounting firms including KPMG, Ernst & Young, and PricewaterhouseCoopers – is believed to be the first to be raided by local police in regards to the 1MDB probe. Deloitte was also appointed as the auditor for 1MDB Real Estate Sdn Bhd from year 2015 to 2016. Moreover, 1MDB had reportedly fired KPMG and Ernst & Young before hiring Deloitte as its third auditor.
