FORMER attorney-general Apandi Ali has been called in by police to have his statement recorded in connection with a report lodged by Klang MP Charles Santiago over allegations of power abuse in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) investigations. 

Police secretary Noorsiah Mohd Saaduddin said police will record his statement at about 2.30pm tomorrow. 

“The case is being investigated by the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigations Department Classified Investigations Unit under Section 217 of the Penal Code,” she said in a statement today.

On Friday, the media reported that Santiago had lodged a police report against Apandi, citing abuse of power and dissatisfaction over the way the 1MDB case investigation was handled during the latter’s tenure as attorney-general. – Bernama, July 31, 2022.
