There have been no official claims with regard to the RM114 million in cash, and valuables seized from residences linked to former premier Najib Abdul Razak, according to deputy inspector-general of police Noor Rashid Ibrahim.

Previously, Najib claimed that the cash belonged to Umno and was in the process of being transferred to the new leadership following his resignation as party president.

Rashid also revealed that the police's anti-money laundering unit have identified several bags and watches which are suspected to have been purchased with proceeds from unlawful activities.

“The police are also working with (the authorities) in several countries to assist the investigations.

“We are also in the process of collecting sufficient evidence in order for prosecution and forfeiture of property to take place,” he added.

Rashid said the police have until May 19 next year to complete their investigations.

Wedding gifts

In a series of raids on residences linked to Najib earlier this year, police seized a haul of cash, luxury handbags and accessories believed to have a total market value of over RM1.1 billion.

While Najib claims the cash is Umno's, most of the items have been linked to his wife Rosmah Mansor and their daughter who says they were her wedding gifts.

However, sources close to Rosmah claimed in August that less than half the seized items were hers.

A lawyer for Rosmah also confirmed that her legal team had made a written request to the police to return the items.
