Malaysian police on Wednesday said they have confiscated the total value of cash and luxury items from buildings connected to former Prime Minister, Najib Razak, in excess of about $273m.

The counted items include cash in 26 currencies, 25 bags of gold, 12,000 items of jewelry, 567 luxury handbags, 423 watches and 234 sunglasses, the director of the police Commercial Crime Investigation Department, Amar Singh, told a press conference.

“It is the largest ever seizure in the country’s history, resulting from an investigation into state fund,” Singh said.

Police said all the items were seized from six premises related to Najib, namely the Prime Minister’s official residence and the Prime Minister’s office in Putrajaya, three luxury condominiums in downtown Kuala Lumpur and Najib’s private house.
