He said this included the Lebanese jeweller which had filed a civil suit against the former prime minister’s wife, Rosmah Mansor, to recover jewellery said to have been loaned to her.
“We have to remember that the seized items are now part of the court’s exhibits.
“Those who claim to have rights over them have to prove that these items belong to them,” he said after attending the police’s monthly assembly here.
He added that under anti-money laundering laws, the police had a year to complete their investigation.
He also urged the jeweller, Global Royalty Trading SAL, to cooperate with them and allow its statement to be recorded.
In May, the police seized the 12,000 pieces of jewellery, said to be worth RM440 million, in raids on premises linked to Najib Razak.
On Oct 11, the High Court ordered the police and the government to confirm if this included 44 pieces of jewellery worth RM59.8 million from Global Royalty.
Rosmah is expected to be called for questioning at the Commercial Crime Investigation Department tomorrow.
Speaking today, Fuzi also welcomed former defence minister Hishammuddin Hussein’s offer to help track down fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low.
“I do not want to comment on Hishammuddin’s motive, but we welcome him if he wants to help,” he said.
Hishammuddin had said he would personally go to China and bring Jho Low back to face justice. He said if the businessman was still outside the country, the 1MDB case might not be closed.
Fuzi also said the police were still awaiting the results of the second post-mortem by the Universiti Malaya medical centre on late Cradle Fund CEO Nazrin Hassan.
“The Selangor police informed me today that they are still waiting for the report,” he said.
“Of course, we want it to be out as soon as possible, but we need to respect the process.”
Nazrin’s remains were exhumed early this month for a second post-mortem. His family had requested this, stating dissatisfaction with the outcome of the first autopsy.
