Attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali confirms that his office has received the request from Switzerland's Office of the Attorney-General (OAG) under the Mutual Legal Assistance in the alleged embezzlement and money laundering involving 1MDB.

This was the Swiss OAG's second request to gain help from its Malaysian counterpart under Mutual Legal Assistance, after the AG's Chambers here claimed it did not received the first application.

Speaking to reporters after being appointed Universiti Utara Malaysia adjunct professor in Kuala Lumpur today, Apandi said he would reply accordingly.
