The Inspector-General of Police on Friday said the police raid on audit firm Deloitte Malaysia was to gather documents believed to be connected to the investigations into the embezzlement of 1MDB funds.

Deloitte has been under scrutiny for its role in auditing 1MDB's financial statements in 2013 and 2014.

In January, Malaysia's securities regulator fined Deloitte RM2.2mil for failing to report irregularities in relation to an Islamic bond issued by a 1MDB-linked company.
