KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 8 — The police investigation into the Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) foreign exchange losses incurred in the 1990s is almost complete, according to Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) said that the Commercial Crime Investigation Department which is investigating the case is reviewing the Royal Commission of Inquiry’s (RCI) report on the forex losses.
“We will take action in accordance with the law as soon as the investigation is completed.
“This investigation took some time as it required us to get information from several countries involved in the report,” the New Straits Times quoted IGP Fuzi as saying.
But he declined to elaborate as he is unable to divulge additional information.
In November 30 last year, The RCI 524-page report was tabled in the Dewan Rakyat.
Subsequently, RCI secretary Datuk Yusof Ismail lodged a police report at the Putrajaya Police Headquarters in connection with the commission’s recommendations.
Yusof cited the report would enable the police to carry out official investigations into criminal breach of trust, cheating and other offences that might have been committed by parties named in the commission’s report such as BNM, the Finance Ministry and the National Audit Department, however no specific persons were named in the report.
