Police are probing the Sarawak Report leak of what they claim to be the classified auditor-general's report on 1MDB.

The Malay Mail Online quoted Deputy Home Minister Nur Jazlan Mohamad as confirming this.

“There is nothing much I can say about this as it is under the Official Secrets Act (OSA), but I assure you that the police will probe this," the news portal quoted Nur Jazlan as saying.

Yesterday, Sarawak Report published an exposé on what it claimed to be the auditor-general's report on state investment fund 1MDB, which the government has classified under the OSA.

Earlier today, the website published another article revealing what it claims to be a letter sent by Bank Negara to the Public Accounts Committee, which had also been investigating the actions of 1MDB.

Malaysiakini cannot independently verify if the documents published by Sarawak Report are authentic, nor can it report on the contents due to legal restrictions.

The website said it would be publishing more details from the auditor-general’s report in the coming days.
