Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar today confirmed that police have completed taking statements from Swiss national Xavier Andre Justo on the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) issue in Bangkok yesterday.
According to him, Justo had given full cooperation to facilitate police investigations into issues related to 1MDB.
"My officers will return today...they will present the outcome of their interview with Justo," he told reporters after launching the police Green Day Programme here.
Khalid however, declined to disclose matters raised in the interview with the former PetroSaudi International employee.
He added that the police investigation on the 1MDB issue was expected to be completed after they received relevant documents from its Thai counterpart.
Yesterday, the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) team led by Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (Investigation/Legal) deputy director Datuk Amar Singh Ishar Singh was tasked to interview Justo.
On Aug 17, Justo was sentenced to three years' jail by the South Bangkok Criminal Court for stealing 90 gigabytes of data that included emails, documents and other materials from PetroSaudi International and attempting to blackmail his former employer.
PDRM have been trying to record his statement for the past few months.
