"Regarding some property abroad that will be confiscated, we are in the process of getting the property back," he said. 

Earlier this month, Ayob had said that a total of RM93.2 million worth of assets were seized and surrendered in the investigation on Loo.

The assets included two Pablo Picasso artworks, watches, jewellery and luxury handbags. The items were seized in Singapore, Switzerland, New York, London and Malaysia, he had said.
