Bank Negara Malaysia in the joint statement with the Royal Malaysian
Police, Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism and
Companies Commission of Malaysia said seized records revealed that a
substantial number of investors had paid but yet to receive their
delivery of gold, prior to the raids, whereby the period of non-delivery
in some cases had exceeded five months.
The statement said the enforcement agencies are aware of the plights
faced by affected investors and every effort was being made to determine
the whereabouts of the money and assets of the companies.
As such, a dedicated team has been set up to track the movement of money
and other assets of the companies and international accounting firms
have also been appointed on a full time basis to assist investigations.
"The scope of investigation is international. In this connection, the
enforcement agencies are actively collaborating with their foreign
counterparts to obtain evidence in several other jurisdiction to assist
investigations," the statement said.
