The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) received 1,014 cases during the 2025–2026 financial year, but 111 were returned to the referring agencies over gaps in evidence and investigation, procedural lapses and uncertainty over whether some matters were civil or criminal. According to the OAG Annual Report 2025–2026, police referred 955 cases, while the Anti-Corruption Commission and other government agencies referred 14 and six cases respectively. By the end of the reporting period, 366 cases had been concluded, 260 were under trial and 263 remained under review. The OAG said some returned cases required further investigation or additional evidence, while others did not meet the public interest threshold for prosecution under Section 40 of the OAG Act. The report, however, does not specify how many cases were returned for each reason or how many were later resubmitted or prosecuted. To improve the quality of cases reaching prosecutors, the OAG also conducted training for police officers on investigation standards, evidence assessment, charge-sheet preparation and courtroom procedures. Police cadets received training on anti-money laundering and child-sensitive justice.
