The Attorney-General's Chambers is in the process of examining the investigation papers submitted by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) on its 1MDB probe.

"We are still studying the papers. I have no comment," Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi Ali told Malaysiakini .

"The papers were sent to us late in the afternoon or before 5pm on the day (BNM) governor (Zeti Akhtar Aziz) gave the press conference.

"It's not that (the papers were sent to us) one week before (Zeti's press conference)," he added.

During last Thursday’s press conference, Zeti said BNM had concluded its investigations on the state-owned 1MDB.

"The bank has submitted its investigation papers to the attorney-general with the recommendation for appropriate enforcement action," she had said.

Zeti, however, declined to disclose any findings of the investigation as she was prohibited by law from doing so.

The BNM governor was also part of a special task force set up to probe 1MDB as well as the RM2.6 billion transferred into Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s accounts.

However, Mohamed Apandi, who replaced Abdul Gani Patail as attorney-general on July 28, has since disbanded the task force.

The unexpected removal of Abdul Gani had ignited allegations that it was an attempt to derail the task force probe, but the government has denied this.
