Media reports have claimed that among the items seized from the Pavilion Residences linked to former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak were 100kg of gold bars.

However, federal Commercial Crimes Department director Amar Singh refused to confirm this during a press conference in Kuala Lumpur this morning.

"Soon after we finish counting everything, I will verify that…," he said.

Pressed to comment on whether police had seized items resembling gold bars, Amar insisted that he would only reveal matters that have been authenticated so far.

“Once I have a person to confirm with me that it is gold, then I will verify it,” he said.

Asked to confirm claims of cash found stashed in walls, Amar dismissed such reports as "fake news".

"That's why I said don't listen to fake news. There were also pictures of gold bars… All that is not true," he stressed.

Amar said all the viral photographs on social media and newspapers were not true as only the commanding officer and his deputy were allowed to bring along their mobile phones during the raid.

"All photographs of the case items were taken by an officer from Bukit Aman's D6 Unit," he added.

Amar had earlier revealed that out of the 72 bags seized during the May 18 operation, 35 contained cash in 26 currencies.

He said it took 22 bank officers three days to count the RM114 million while the value of the items in the remaining 37 bags containing jewellery and watches have yet to be ascertained.

Also seized were 284 boxes of designer handbags.

Amar also confirmed that all the money accounted for has been sent to Bank Negara, while the remaining amount is kept in a safe, the key to which he holds.

As for the jewellery and other valuables, Amar said the items were kept in a safe place at the federal police headquarters at Bukit Aman and are accessible only to two officers.
