PETALING JAYA: Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has recorded statements from affected parties involved in the gold trading firms which were raided recently.

In a statement issued yesterday, it said the relevant agencies were recording statements from the firms' directors, their senior management, agents and investors.

An extensive and detailed analysis was now being made on the assets and liabilities of the companies.

Earlier this month, BNM together with the police, the Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Ministry and the Companies Com-mission of Malaysia raided the offices of gold trading company Genneva Malaysia Sdn Bhd for suspected illegal deposit-taking and money laundering.

Similar firms Pageantry Gold Bhd, Caesar Gold Sdn Bhd and Worldwide Far East Bhd were also raided.

“Action will be taken on those companies that offer fraudulent and deceptive financial or interest schemes,” the statement said.
