About six officers of the Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) were seen entering the office at 10.30am.

It is learnt that the police left the premise at 6.30pm and was seen carrying a box full of documents.

CCID acting director Saiful Azly said: “I can confirm there is a raid now and my officers have yet to leave the law firm.

“I can only say the raid is related to the 1MDB investigations.”

It was reported that the law firm represented investment bankers Goldmans Sachs in issuing bonds worth US$6.5 billion between 2012 and 2013.

The bank was alleged to have hidden information where 1MDB had fully underwritten all amounts related to costs, expenses and damages suffered by the International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) in an agreement dated May 21, 2012.

It was alleged to have omitted material facts over fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low, who was said to be the operator and key intermediator for 1MDB.

Goldman Sachs’ former banker Roger Ng has been slapped with four charges of abetting his former company over the issuance of the bonds.

Ng is also facing three criminal charges for bribery and money laundering in the Eastern District New York Court.

The government has filed an application to extradite Ng but he is contesting the request.

The courts here denied him bail pending his extradition hearing. Ng is currently being detained at Sungai Buloh.

He is one of three current and former Goldman bankers implicated by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) as having taken part in or having knowledge of what it called a “multi layer criminal enterprise”.

Ng was a deputy to Goldman’s former Southeast Asia chairman Tim Leissner, who has pleaded guilty to his role in the scandal.

Leissner told the US court he took part in money laundering, bribery and obtaining kickbacks from 2009 to 2014 in an effort to acquire and execute the “strategic” 1MDB transaction to benefit himself and Goldman.
