KUALA LUMPUR: German police seized four special edition Bugatti Veyron supercars believed to be linked to the 1MDB scandal earlier this week.
According to German daily Bild, the cars were confiscated from a private storage facility in Munich.
These supercars are part of the exclusive "Legends" series of Bugatti Veyrons, with only 18 vehicles built across six specifications.
"The cars rarely come up for sale and usually are not sold at public auction. The cars were located and seized by Criminal Investigation Department 7 members, specialising in white-collar crimes," Bild reports.
Meanwhile, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain was quoted by local media saying that police have yet to receive any information regarding the German investigation.
He said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) may take up the matter.
The seized cars were reportedly the Veyron editions Rembrandt, Black Bess, Jean-Pierre Wimille and Meo Constantini, which initially retailed over US$3 million (RM14.3 million) each.
However, Bild said estimating their value is difficult as they are rarely sold at public auctions.
