The investigation paper (IP) involving 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) lawyer Jasmine Loo Ai Swan were submitted to the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) last month, says Tan Sri Razarudin Husain.

The Inspector-General of Police said the IP was on Section 409 of the Penal Code.

"We are also continuing another investigation under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) to track down other assets belonging to her," he said.

The IGP said this at a press conference after officiating the closing of the National Forensic Symposium for Law Enforcement at the Royal Malaysia Police College on Thursday (Sept 7).

According to earlier reports, police had seized some assets acquired using 1MDB funds and registered under Loo's name.

Deputy IGP Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said the assets include properties, bank accounts, paintings, luxury handbags, watches and documents, worth RM93.2mil.

Meanwhile, when asked about efforts to track down fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low, the IGP said police have never given up in tracking him down.

"Like I said before, efforts (to track down and arrest) Jho Low have never ceased. Like Jasmine Loo, people have never asked about her but we managed to bring her back. It is the same for Jho Low," he said.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) also confirmed that investigations into Loo started on Monday (Sept 4).

MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said Loo is being investigated for corruption and money laundering.

Loo was arrested on July 7 after she surrendered to the police.
