An ongoing police probe into 1MDB is still found to be lacking in evidence, attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali said today.

"There are reports that said the (1MDB) case has been thrown out, that is not correct.

"Investigation papers are constantly being referred to the AG's Chambers (AGC). We go through, and if we find that it is lacking in certain areas, we give instructions to pursue further investigations," said Apandi during a press conference at the AGC in Putrajaya.

He, however, declined to reveal the areas which must be probed further in relation to the case.

"I cannot tell you the details of what is being investigated. But we are saying it is lacking in evidence so we want to pursue that area that is still lacking," he said.

Apandi said this when asked for comments on Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Azalina Othman Said's statement yesterday, that he had on Oct 24, directed the police to reinvestigate the 1MDB fund scandal.

This is the second time in four months that the AG has rejected police investigation papers on 1MDB.

Asked whether the missing evidence included investigations on tycoon Jho Low, Apandi remarked that he was being goaded to reveal further information, and once again declined comment.

"I can (only) say between 25 to 30 percent," he said when pressed on how much more work is needed to complete the investigation papers.

Low, whose whereabouts remain unknown, is closely linked to the 1MDB scandal, which saw billions of ringgit in funds allegedly siphoned off by certain individuals.

He has denied the allegations directed at him.

Meanwhile, Apandi also said that he has yet to receive information regarding investigations on the allegations against MACC chief Dzulkifli Ahmad.

"So I assume investigations are still ongoing. Anyway, the case is still new," he said when asked about the progress of the special task force set up to investigate allegations that Dzulkifli was involved in an affair with a married woman recently.
