Police said today they have yet to verify whether the money seized from the properties linked to Najib Abdul Razak belong to Umno, as claimed by certain quarters..
"We won't know. The word 'Umno' wasn't printed on the money," Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Commissioner Amar Singh said.
At a media conference in Kuala Lumpur today, Amar said if there were parties that claimed the money belonged to Umno, police would like to record their statement and investigate the claim.
"But so far, nobody has come forward," he said.
Today's press conference also saw police itemising the various valuables seized during raids last month on properties linked to the former prime minister.
The total valuation of the items amounted to RM686.37 million, and this included 12,000 pieces of jewellery.
Following the raids on three units at the upmarket Pavilion Residences in Kuala Lumpur on May 18, several quarters claimed that the money seized belonged to Umno and was for the May 9 general election.
This included Najib himself, the Umno headquarters, Umno veteran Shahrir Abdul Samad and Umno supreme council member Bung Moktar Radin.
Amar also said that police will soon summon Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor to record their statements on the 1MDB scandal.
"We will call both of them, in the near future, and investigate whether Rosmah is involved in the 1MDB scandal," he said.
