Police will ask former attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali to record his statement in connection with a report lodged by Klang MP Charles Santiago over allegations of power abuse in the 1MDB case investigations.

Royal Malaysia Police secretary Noorsiah Mohd Saaduddin said police will record Apandi’s (above) statement at about 2.30pm today.

“The case is being investigated by the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigations Department’s Classified Investigations Unit under Section 217 of the Penal Code,” Noorsiah said in a statement yesterday.

Last Friday, the media reported that Santiago had lodged a police report against Apandi, citing abuse of power and dissatisfaction over the way the 1MDB case investigation was handled during his tenure as AG.
