PETALING JAYA: A money trail has been established on the purchase of a pink diamond that allegedly used 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) funds, says Senior Asst Comm Datuk Khalil Azlan Chik.
The Bukit Aman IGP secretariat Anti-Money Laundering division chief said investigators had obtained evidence that the pink diamond worth US$23mil (RM94.6mil) was bought from a jeweller in New York using 1MDB funds.“Even though the diamond was not found during the raids we conducted, we have found enough evidence to show that the diamond was purchased,” he said in a statement yesterday.
