After Roger Ng, CCID chief says identified another individual abroad in 1MDB asset recovery

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 — Police have identified another individual abroad who is linked to the return of 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) assets worth millions of ringgit.

Bukit Aman Commercial CID director, Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf said it is a positive discovery following investigation carried out on former Goldman Sachs banker Roger Ng in recovering 1MDB assets locally and overseas.

He said the identity of the individual cannot be revealed as it could jeopardise investigations into the case.

“The tracking of assets need not necessarily involve Roger Ng and on the other hand it was found that another individual has been identified as owning 1MDB funds,” he said in a special media conference today.

Elaborating further, Ramli said the investigation on Ng is still going on and the focus is on recovering 1MDB assets.
