KUALA LUMPUR: Police have opened an investigation paper into allegations that a senior police officer brought along his girlfriend along during a 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB)-related raid at the residence of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in May 2018.

Dang Wangi district police chief ACP Noor Dellhan Yahaya said they received a police report at 3.02pm on Friday (Aug 12) involving a statement uploaded to a news portal and YouTube.
